ELA, LAB, ESK, Steilas, Hiru and Etxalde hope that the political parties will support the initiative and that the Basque Parliament will approve the proposal before the end of the year .

The trade unions ELA, LAB, ESK, Steilas, Hiru and Etxalde have described the campaign as a 'tremendous success' and have closed the collection of signatures before the deadline so that 'the Basque Parliament can demand the competence of the minimum wage as soon as possible'.

This last-minute move will take place at the request of the ELA union, which yesterday presented a new proposal to the bases, which was approved in the vote and which they want to put back on track before the August holiday. 

The gardeners of Vitoria-Gasteiz demonstrated on Monday in front of the Basque Government and Enviser, the company contracted by the City Council of Vitoria-Gasteiz for the maintenance of the gardens, denouncing that they have already been on strike for four months to demand their own agreement and wage improvements, and that no progress has been made in the negotiation.

They believe that the proposal does not take into account the profits made by companies in recent years, nor the productivity generated by their workforce, and therefore does not aim at 'social cohesion or fair distribution of wealth'.

The Department of Economy, Employment and Employment proposes a wage gap after analysing the socio-economic reality of the Basque Country. The study has been strongly criticized by ELA and LAB and calls for an interprofessional minimum wage of its own for the ACV.

According to ELA's Secretary General, Mitxel Lakuntza, there will be no substantial changes in practice, that is to say, it will henceforth place the Basque Government at the window where the Spanish Government used to say, although it believes that centralisation will not end and that decision-making power will still depend on Madrid.

The unions called an assembly for the workers to give their opinion on this proposal in a vote, and finally ELA, LAB and ESK have reached an agreement to reject the offer and have a vote by the workers.

Bizkaia's self-schools have taken to the streets to demand a new agreement. Ainhoa Tirapu of the ELA union has explained that they have met with employers seven times but that there are no acceptable proposals on the table.

The agreement has been reached after months of numerous mobilizations and 12 strike days. The labor dispute began at the beginning of the year.

The abertzale union believes they are "unjustified" and "violate the right to strike." ELA denounces that "a job with precarious conditions is now considered essential."
