ELA and LAB have announced that they will not meet on Monday with the Economic, Labour and Employment Adviser, Mikel Torres, in response to the rejection in Parliament of the popular legislative initiative by the parties of the Basque Government (PNV and PSE) to create a minimum wage in the Basque Country.
The Second Vice-President also began yesterday, Thursday, a round of meetings with the social partners, which CCOO and UGT held on Monday with ELA, LAB and the employers Confebask.
These two unions have taken this decision after ELA, LAB, ESK, Steilas, Hiru and Etxalde decided not to process in the Basque Parliament the popular legislative initiative promoted by ELA, LAB, ESK and supported by 138,495 signatures.
"PNV and PSE say they are in favour of a minimum wage of theirown and that the workers of the Basque Autonomous Community need wages according to their socio-economic reality . However, their actions show the opposite: they have taken the position of the employers and are following the orders of Confebask, "these two unions have denounced in a statement.
They believe that the Basque Government 'does not believe in real dialogue'because if it did, 'it would give way to debate in Parliament and ensure that everyone can defend their position'.
ELA and LAB have called on lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, and Counsellor Torres to "change their position and defend their own minimum wage, as well as direct questioning of employers, so that employers can also move" and start negotiating a minimum wage for the Basque Country.
These two unions have also announced thatthey will sue Confebask for "refusing to set up a negotiating table" to discuss this issue so that justice "fulfils the employer's negotiating obligation".
