The people, practically all of them women, who provide the Home Help service in the province of Ciudad Real through private companies are massively supporting the indefinite strike that they have started today to demand their collective agreement, pending since the end of .The exorbitant minimum services imposed by the Ministry of Welfare, “with the obvious intention of nullifying the effective impact of the strikes,” have outraged the workers, who also learned about them when they were preparing to support the strike.
The vast majority have not been able to do so, given that they have had to carry out of the services that they usually provide to users with a Grade III Industry Email List Disability, to those with Grade II and 50% to the rest, but with the added obligation in all cases to “guarantee personal hygiene, food and medication, as well as special care tasks” to all the people they care for every day.
The CCOO-Hábitat and FeSP-UGT unions of Ciudad Real have already announced that they will challenge these minimum services "for being disproportionate, abusive and lacking justification", although they admitted that "when the sentence arrives, there will be no way to rectify the damage caused to the workers by violating their fundamental right to strike.”
This has been indicated by the heads of both unions, Antonio Sánchez-Carnerero and Javier Román Maeso, during the concentration that the workers of the Home Help contract of Ciudad Real capital have staged in the city's Plaza Mayor, to which They have also added colleagues from other locations.
“We work with our hearts and they deny us negotiation”, “Essential yes, forgotten no” “We do not want a strike, we want an agreement” “For a Fair salary: we are efficient workers with an insufficient salary”, “Let us take care of our elders by taking care of their caregivers”, “Our rights are not sold, they are defended” were some of the slogans chanted and displayed on their banners by the workers during the massive rally; that began before the City Council - the local entities are the owners and responsible for the service; but which they later moved in front of the headquarters of the FECIR employer's association - which represents the companies that profit from the awarding of contracts.
The president of the company committee of the Valdepeñas contract, Loli Díaz, thanked her colleagues for their mobilization, highlighting that “the strike is being fully monitored by those who can do it, and that the Administration has already taken care of that be very few”, and urged the employers and companies “to return to the workers a part of what we contribute. “We want a fair salary and decent conditions.”
“All the applause we have received in the pandemic now turns into contempt and meanness. Our companies complain that they earn little because the Administration values the work we do little. But companies continue to participate in competitions to keep the contracts, there must be a reason.”
“This model of providing the public Home Help service through private companies is exhausted; and it is the very attitude of the companies and their employers that is making this more evident every day. Let's see how they explain their interest in continuing in the sector, and see how they explain that in Ciudad Real they have the lowest salaries in the region," said Maribel Cabañero, general secretary of CCOO-Hábitat CLM, who joined the concentrationThe employers' association FECIR, for its part, yesterday formally urged new mediation before the Arbitration Jury. “It doesn't make much sense for them to request mediation just a few hours after the strike begins. Call us as soon as possible with a worthy proposal. With or without a referee, we will assist you,” union officials stated.
