The Popular Party demands the president of the Cabildo, Pedro Martín, to “lead, once and for all, the solution to the labor conflict in the tram” that has led to the strike of the workers in Metropolitan de Tenerife. Lope Afonso, candidate for the insular presidencyasks Martín for “responsibility” before the announcement of the staff “to convert the strike to indefinite, in case he does not intercede.”
He PP requests that the nature of the alleged coercion denounced by the workers be clarified and have caused the works council to extend the strike. Afonso calls on Pedro Martín to “do what he has to do, and lead the negotiations to end the tram strike, which started on February 17.”
These alleged coercion and reprisals against the workers and their representatives have been brought to the attention of the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office and the legal services of the unions.
Afonso recalls that the PP led a proposal in the Cabildo, supported by the majority of the plenary, to implement the figure of an intermediary to facilitate the agreements. He concludes: “The insular government has not been able to do it.”
