Union delegates closed in the Department of Education
On Wednesday afternoon, three representatives of the UGT and two of the USTEC locked themselves in the Department of Education with the intention of spending the night there. Their main demand is to start real negotiations to improve the working conditions of workers in the education sector.
This decision was taken after a meeting where the unions’ input did not receive the expected support. The representatives want to visualize the discontent of the workers after years of meetings without achieving real improvements.
Union demands
The demands of the unions include the regularization of the situation of the Technical Specialist in Early Childhood Education staff and the reclassification of the professional category of the labor staff. In addition, they ask to improve the remuneration of the working staff.
Intention to continue negotiations
Elena Rosilla, one of the closed delegates, has expressed her intention to remain closed until a real negotiation is achieved with the Department of Education. He believes that technical meetings held for years never come to fruition.
Reactions of the Department of Education
Sources from the Department of Education have explained that the meeting with the union representatives took place cordially. The unions have been informed about the context of the dissolution of the legislature and the current state of proceedings with Economy.
