The Department of Justice of the Basque Government has signed a pre-agreement with ACAIP-UGT eta CC OO   to regulate the working conditions of the staff of the three prisons of theBasque Autonomous Community (CAV) for the next five years.

In a note, the Department explains that the pre-agreement provides for special working hours and conditions for jailers, and recalls that the agreement has also been reached after several months of negotiations.

The pre-agreement currently covers 550 persons serving in the three prisons of the CSC, although it is expected to increase to 830 workers in the future da.

The text contains the specificities   of an uninterrupted basic service 24 hours a day, and therefore establishes specific working hours and hours, as well as working conditions that allow for the "proper performance" of the service.

It also covers issues such as the standardisation of the Basque language, equality, prevention and training.

It raises, for a period of five years, a situation in which workers in jobs of special risk or dedication are granted remuneration.

In addition, with the current employment ratio, it lays the foundations for articulating "solid services for the development of the Basque prison model".

In this regard, Justice has stated that it will make it possible, for example, to open in the coming months the closed module of the Araba Penitentiary (Zaballa) and the new Zubieta Penitentiary .

On the other hand, in another note, CCOOreiterates this pre-agreement reached four years after the arrival of the competence of prisons and stresses the importance of the signature that underpins the normalization of the labour relations of the prison population.

CCOO has described the agreement as "historic" and stressed that it improves the conditions of the entire workforce and takes into account the uniqueness of this work in terms of safety, shift, salary and rest.
