SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, May 1. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The CC candidate for the Presidency of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, has requested, on the occasion of this May 1st, “a great Pact for Employment in the islands that serves as a brake on precarious work as a result of PSOE policies.”
“Today it is more necessary than ever to recover the spirit of Labor Day to remember that above the figures must be the quality of employment and that condition is not met in the Canary Islands. Today there are more workers who do not make ends meet than ever “, asserted the nationalist in a statement.
Clavijo added that in these four years of the ‘Pact of Flowers’ in the Canary Islands “there has been a decline not only because of the pandemic or the rise in prices but because they have relegated training to the background and have disconnected it from the labor market”.
For this reason, it opted for Vocational Training that is a true ‘fast track’ for quality employment in the Islands, placing Vocational Training as “a priority objective in all areas of the next Government of the Canary Islands, including Employment”.
“The reality,” he said, “is that today in the Canary Islands there are more workers working who are unable to make ends meet, who have lost purchasing power” and blamed the policies of the Pact of Flowers.
For Clavijo, “they have created a new social class, that of poor workers, as well as have promoted the figure of discontinuous workers, those who work only a few months a year and when they do not have the right to any benefit or They appear on the unemployment lists.
He also assured that employment policies must be one of the great challenges of the next legislature and insisted on a great Pact for Employment in the Canary Islands in which administrations, social and economic agents participate.
The candidate also promised to create a working group to design the new Economic and Fiscal Regime of the Canary Islands, which includes “specific measures for workers in the Islands.”
Finally, he highlighted among his objectives, in addition to the commitment to reduce the unemployment rate below 10% before 2027 with specific measures to reduce job insecurity, increase the labor incorporation of women, promote the labor insertion of young people from the Canary Islands and of the long-term unemployed.
