THE BICING OF BARCELONA IS ON STRIKE FOR THE DAYS 12,14,15,16, 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, 30 i 31 FROM JULY
CONCENTRATIONS 12 i 14 FROM JULY of 9 a 11h i de 17 at 7pm IN SANT JAUME SQUARE IN FRONT OF BARCELONA TOWN HALL
The company committee of Bicing in Barcelona has called 15 strike days of four hours per work shift, between days 12 i 31 of July, given the situation of economic precariousness and the unfortunate working conditions in Bicing de Barcelona and the lack of union response.
Of the 9 trade union delegates in Barcelona Bicing 6 they have been passed to the CGT, to be able to claim their rights. The Works Committee has held assemblies in the different work centers and shifts and the workers have shown their support for the strike call. The workers demand a real negotiation with the company and Barcelona City Council.
The unfortunate conditions of Bicing workers are among others: Salaries of 950 € per month. Loading and unloading powder from 23 kilos of bicycles. Unacceptable rhythms and organization of work, that breach the rules of prevention and the traffic code. Increased productivity in both mechanics, maintenance, as in mobility. Difficulties in being able to do the physiological needs during the working day and difficulties in being able to rest at breakfast time. Time organization of the company including overtime. The vehicles are not properly conditioned for the work they are intended for.
In a few words, 19th century labor relations in which they have been participating for a long time 11 years the American multinational Clear Channel and Barcelona City Council.
Fa 11 years that the staff call them "patience", that the economic and labor situation does not allow decent wages, that is not the time. Fa 11 years that the City Council set up the bicing with Jordi Hereu, Trias has passed and now those in the council are the ones who should put an end to the labor and economic precariousness of what has been reported to them in so many press conferences, but that when they are required to intervene they claim that it is managed by a private company.
Since all the doors have been closed, the workers have gone on strike, the company made a finalist proposal that was totally insufficient and that did not meet the expectations of the workforce, the involvement of Barcelona City Council has been requested and the workers have received silence in response. It is clear that with this salary, with these working conditions and with so many irregularities it is difficult to work.
From the CGT, union with the largest presence in the company both in terms of union delegates and affiliates, we defend the claims of the Bicing workers so that they have decent working conditions and end the precariousness they have been dragging for a long time 11 years.
Enough of broken promises, we want facts.
