ELA and LAB have rejected theproposal for a collective agreement that the SEA employersbrought to the metal table in Álava on Monday as "retrograde" and "worsening the working conditions" of the 25,000 people working in the sector.
ELAconsiders the employer's proposal to be "an insult" because "it not only ignores the demands made by the unions, but also introduces retrograde measures ", such as wage increases of 1.5% per year" without the guarantee of updating according to the CPI ", a measure which, it regrets," would leave wages exposed to the loss of purchasing power ".
According to the union in a statement, employers have also proposed "greater time flexibility" with a flexibility bag, which would increase from thecurrent 100 hours per year to 260 hours and would mean cuts in union rights and medical leave.
"The proposal does not meet the real needs of the sectorand merely proposes cuts and greater flexibility for the benefit of companies, "ELA has denounced.
LABhas stated in another note that this proposal "increases precariousness"by not guaranteeing purchasing power or reducing working hours, as well as "taking steps backwards"in flexibility and medical casualties. "It has been insulting, "said LAB, who has warned:" Under no circumstances will we accept the loss of a single right that has been achieved with years of struggle. "
The union has urged SEA to bring a proposal to the table "with the content the sector needs" and to open a "real negotiation". It has also warned that there will be mobilizations if it shows no willingness to reach a "dignified" agreement.
