The Canarian president, Ángel Víctor Torres, highlights the “shared commitment” to end job insecurity and temporary employment
SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 21 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Government of the Canary Islands, the Canarian Federation of Islands (Fecai), the Canarian Federation of Municipalities (Fecam) and the unions have laid the foundations this Thursday to coordinate the consolidation process of almost 30,000 public workers from the autonomous community, councils and municipalities that they are in abuse of temporality in the archipelago –health and education aside, which have another process–.
Speaking to journalists at the exit of the first work table, the President of the Government, Ángel Víctor Torres, commented that under the new law on urgent measures to reduce temporary employment, OPEs must be convened before June 1 , the bases defined before December 31 and the process completed before the end of 2024.
Torres has pointed out that they leave the meeting “very happy” because there is a “shared commitment” to work quickly, complying with what the law establishes to end “job insecurity and excessive temporary work”.
TORRES ADVOCATES “UNIFORMITY”
He has said that the Government is going to respect the legal framework and appreciate that all the administrations and the unions walk “together” in the solution to the problem, promoting “uniformity” between the institutions when designing the bases, both for the competition and of the contest-opposition.
Tomás Pérez, mayor of La Aldea de San Nicolás (Gran Canaria) and president of the Fecam public administration and security commission, has highlighted the commitment to coordinate the work between the administrations and the unions and has promised that the municipalities will leave to “use fund” because they have many temporalities. “We have to finish her off,” he said.
Fran Bautista, secretary general of Public Services of the UGT, has been “grateful” for the convening of the table because it is a “first step” to achieve the consolidation “so longed for” by the workers.
He has pointed out that it is important to achieve a “consensual framework” of work with all the administrations and trusts that in a period of a month and a half all the positions that need to be stabilized will be identified.
In this line, he has assessed that thanks to the law of urgent measures, for the first time, different issues can be applied to the status of the public employee in such a way that “no employee of other administrations can occupy the places in abuse”.
Pedro Pablo Medina (Intersindical Canaria) has welcomed the president’s initiative to convene the work table because there are many public workers in temporary abuse, stressing that it is not just about solving the problem of places but the “personal project” of each employee.
He has commented that the commitment to coordination between administrations will prevent the process from becoming “frozen” with the presentation of resources and workers who feel “offended”.
“There is a possibility of reaching agreements if there is political will,” he added, despite the fact that he admitted that they do not “like” the law.
END “UNCERTAINTY”
Juan Miguel Suárez, Secretary of Trade Union Action of the CCOO Federation of Citizen Services, has commented that “an important step” has been taken to coordinate the consolidation process and that workers in abuse “have more security” and put an end to the “uncertainty” to stabilize their jobs.
He pointed out that a score of municipalities have already published their public employment offers and has demanded that the rest announce their offers before June 1. “This is fundamental, if not, there is no party”, she pointed out.
Francisco Martín, secretary of CSIF Trade Union Action, has commented that it is necessary to reach agreements to develop the law of urgent measures and put an end to the “job insecurity” of workers.
José Ángel Mascarell (Sepca) has estimated that almost 30% of public administration workers are in temporary abuse and has indicated that the work table “is an opportunity” to seek solutions to a situation “in which workers do not they are guilty”.
He pointed out that with the new law “clarifications” are introduced so that workers do not become “sufferers” and can consolidate their jobs.
