Santurtzi Local Police will support a "strike of rigour" to demand an improvement in working conditions

Workers report "organizational breaches", as well as lower earnings compared to other municipal workers, and a lack of staff at mass events. According to ErNE, agents have begun to strictly apply all regulations and have stopped carrying out reinforcements and overtime.

The Santurtzi Local Police have started a "Japanese strike"to demand improvements in their work and organization, according to the ErNE union, which has reported that the situation has reached the point of exhausting the traffic complaints file as a result of strict application of the regulations.

In a statement, ErNE has denounced the "serious labour dispute" in the Santurtzi Municipal Police and blamed the area councillor for not offering political will to meet workers' demands.

The union has explained that for monthsthe agents have maintained a "responsible and pro-dialogue" attitude, prioritizing public service and public safety.

Among the main claims is the abolition of a penalty provided for in the current productivity agreement. According to ErNE, agents cease to receive certain supplements related to night and holiday work during holidays, medical leave or leave. The staff requires the application of the same criterion as that applied to other municipal officials, who receive 100% of their salaries in such situations.

In addition, the union denounces irregularities in pay levels. In particular, it points out that C1 agents continue to charge level 15, although Law 6/2023 states that it must be between 16 and 22. It also ensures that the first officers continue to receive level 17, despite the fact that the Specific Bureau decided to assign level 19.

Criticism of the lack of cash at the San Jorge holidays

ErNE also warns of the impact that the conflict is having on public security. The union recalls that at the last San Jorge festivities in Santurtzi, only four officers were patrolling the streets at times of the largest influx.

At these parties, moreover, there was a stab wound, which the Central considers to be particularly serious, given the structural lack of staff which it has long denounced.
