SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 28 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The vice-president and transport adviser of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Enrique Arriaga, acknowledged this Friday that the negotiations to resolve the labor conflict in Metropolitan are advancing “slowly and laboriously”.
In response to a question from the non-attached director, María José Belda, in the plenary session of the corporation, commented that they are negotiating with the workers “with discretion” to try to find an “acceptable agreement” and maintains that “the most important is that the service –of the tram– can continue to be provided”.
Belda has wondered “how is it possible” that the Minister of Transport “was an obstacle” to the negotiations, so much so that they had to “remove” him and progress began with the intervention of the general director of Human Resources and the head of service since the concentrations and the strike were called off.
In addition, he has criticized the vice president for not wanting to explain if there is any worker on the staff affected by the disease caused by exposure to silica dust that is produced by the braking of the tram.
