Trade unions will demonstrate in Bilbao on the 12th "for the minimum wage"
The Basque Government opposed the People's Legislative Initiative, which was presented in Parliament in the summer. The trade unions consider the debate to be a 'democratic minimum' and will therefore protest to the headquarters of the Basque Government, the PNV and the PSE-EE.
The unions ELA, LAB, ESK, Steilas, HIRU and Etxalde will demonstrate on 12 November in Bilbaoto call for the debate in the Basque Parliament on the popular legislative initiative of the Basque Country minimum wage.
The mobilisation will begin at 11.30 a.m. in front of the delegation of the Basque Government, then pass the PSE-EE headquarters and end in front of the Sabin House of the PNV. The chosen motto will be "PNV-PSE-Confebask, guilty of poverty; SMI vasco ya!"
PNV and PSE-EE refused to accept the popular legislative initiative that the unions presented in the Basque Parliament in favour of their own minimum wage, supported by the signatures 138,495 and which the unions consider to be a "democratic minimum" to debate in the House.
In a statement, these unions recall that "the PNV expressly made public its opinion against the popular legislative initiative of the minimum wage " and demands that "full competence be proclaimed without any state intervention", and considers that "the trade union initiative does not share this ambition".
They also refer to the fact that 'the trade unions that published the report against the initiative by the Basque Government are calling for full competition, because there is a risk that the unity of the Spanish market will be violated and because the issue of the minimum wage requires agreement with employers'.
In the words of the trade unions, popular legislative initiatives are "the democratic mechanism by which citizens make politics," and they believe that "denying debate would be a fraud," as well as "showing an elitist and authoritarian view of politics."
They believe that the PNV and the PSE-EE are in time to "give way to the voice of the citizens" and to "accept the popular initiative" of the minimum wage in plenary. Trade unions are willing to discuss party contributions in the Basque Parliament; "it would be incomprehensible for the parties to turn their backs on this willingness to negotiate", they say.
