Workers in the nursing homes and day centers of Gipuzkoa will continue to mobilize on 17 and 18 September in Donostia-San Sebastián to "denounce" the "blockade" of the negotiation of the agreement . The protest actions will focus on the Film Festival and have organized the mobilizations for the first day of the festival and the day before.
On 17 and 18\ u00A0 , the Gipuzkoa Residential Film Festival, has organized an initiative called 'Vigil'. On the first day of protest the workers will carry out various activities: they will collect accessions, report the conflict and deliver prizes. On Friday they will demonstrate on the streets of San Sebastian.
According to ELA in a statement, "the negotiating table for the renewal of the agreement began in January 2025, and after several meetings since June, it is again blocked because employers do not have the capacity to make new proposals. "
"The bilateral meetings initiated by the Provincial Council have been fruitless, empty, devoid of content; and without proposals," he criticized, denouncing the dismissal of strikers in centres such as Zaintzen or Biharko Gipuzkoa on indefinite strike, which for ELA is "very serious" and the union has stated that it will not tolerate "union harassment" and has demanded respect and support from the institutions.
Finally, ELA has urged the Council to "stop propaganda and engage in real intervention."
The Gipuzkoa Senior Citizens' Homes and Day Centres sector employs 5,000 workers, mostly women, a service funded by the Provincial Council, although most workers work for private companies.
