Indefinite strike of selective collection service workers
This Friday, at midnight, an indefinite strike by the workers of the Mancomunitat La Plana selective collection service begins, which will affect the door-to-door collection service at premium.cat. Therefore, the service will be disrupted from Saturday. The protest, called by the UGT, is to demand improvements in working conditions.
Citizen collaboration and official information
The Commonwealth appeals for citizen collaboration and it is recommended to follow the official communication channels of each town hall and of the Commonwealth itself, where the situation will be reported. Before the start of the indefinite strike, the minimum services will be announced.
Recommendations during the strike
They recommend keeping the fractions of recyclable materials and the rest at home during the strike and, when not possible, use the emergency waste area by separating them correctly and using the specific app to access them.
Reasons for the strike
The UGT, one of the three unions with representation in the La Plana Commonwealth, has called the indefinite strike to address improvements in working conditions. In a statement, the union denounces that the workload is ‘excessive’ and criticizes that a single operator is forced to do tasks that should normally be done by two people. They also consider wages to be ‘remarkably low’. From the entity, they remember that improvements have been approved in the relationship of jobs, but they regret having reached this situation.
No progress has been made in the negotiation meetings that have taken place in recent days.
