The 112 workers demand the internalization of the service
The workers of the 112 of Reus (Tarragona) and Zona Franca de Barcelona are fighting for an improvement of the emergency service. The unions representing the workers have explained that they foresee new mobilizations to continue demanding the internalization of the service. This demand has been transferred to the parliamentary groups in order to raise awareness of the need to internalize the service and improve the working conditions of the workers.
The lack of staff affects the quality of the service
Workers report a chronic understaffing that results in the loss of important emergency calls. This situation affects the ability to respond in cases such as fires, gender-based violence or drownings on the beach. The workers demand an improvement in the working conditions in order to guarantee a professional and efficient emergency service.
The need for the internalization of the service
The 112 workers demand the internalization of the service in order to improve their working situation and guarantee a quality emergency service. The service is currently managed by an external company, but workers feel that internalisation would be beneficial for all. Despite the Government’s promises, no action has yet been taken in this regard.
Labor and wage insecurity
The workers of 112 denounce the precarious conditions in which they work, as well as the precariousness of wages. Night shifts are paid at a very low rate and weekend work is not adequately remunerated. In addition, there have been cases of workplace and sexual harassment within the service, which have not been sufficiently attended to by the company. The workers are asking for an improvement in working conditions and wages in order to guarantee adequate family reconciliation and respectful treatment.
The importance of a professional emergency service
112 workers emphasize the importance of a professional and efficient emergency service. They consider that it is the responsibility of the Generalitat to guarantee a quality service and not to invest in intermediaries. The internalization of the service would be a solution to alleviate the current problems and improve the response in emergency situations.
conclusion
112 workers are fighting for an improvement in the emergency service. They demand the internalization of the service in order to improve their working conditions and guarantee a quality service. Lack of staff and precarious conditions are some of the problems currently affecting the service. It is the responsibility of the Generalitat to take the necessary measures to guarantee a professional and efficient emergency service.
