Mobility in commuting from home to work and from work to home by private vehicle generates major traffic jams and is one of the major factors contributing to environmental pollution and climate change.

We think that the reduction of a large part of these polluting inputs is necessary, essential for the future of life on the planet. And in our sector it is possible.

With the aim of reducing pollution, the carbon footprint, the pollutant emissions during work journeys from home to work, achieve a supportive planet, sustainable and comply with the Sustainable Development Goals, we propose:

The rationalization of the distribution of the workers of the Generalitat de Catalunya in public children's education, primary, compulsory secondary and high school, taking as a structural criterion the proximity between the place of residence and the place of work.

It is quite common for a primary education teacher resident in Barcelona to commute to Canovelles every day to work, vice versa. And so for all the studies mentioned above. The teaching staff of the Generalitat amounts to more than 80.000 people. The impact of their daily mobility is not residual.

The approximation of distances between places of residence and work also improves the reconciliation of work and family life, the care spaces, saves time, life quality, well-being and health among workers.

We raise these groups of female workers mainly because they are the most abundant and widespread (including secondary education specialties) and more easily interchangeable with mobility criteria.

However, we consider that this should be a structural criterion of all Public Administrations in the allocation of places and competition for transfers.

That this same should be the line of action of the Department of Education of the Generalitat of Catalonia in more specialized studies, as much as possible.

WE PROPOSE:

That transfer competitions be called, offering in a pedagogical way, trunk and priority the practical possibility of bringing the place of work closer to the place of residence.

The allocation of places is the result of a public competition using as a priority the criterion of proximity between the place of residence and the place of work.

Through this guide we present a series of clarifications about the most common questions that are coming to us from the centers of work. The Prevention Services of many companies are not Doing the homework, and it is therefore necessary that the workers who are forced to attend their workplaces have sufficient information to avoid infecting themselves or other her companions.

We also provide information related to teleworking, as well as PPE (Individual Protection Equipment), management of casualties by contagion or quarantine. We ask you to share this little guide with your acquaintances and acquaintances, in order to make it the most useful possible.

Meeting of prevention delegates 16 of December 2016 in Barcelona and presentation of the new Occupational Health website of CGT Catalonia

Friday 16 In December, CGT Catalunya convenes a new meeting of CGT Catalunya prevention delegates, from 10 a 14h. in the Can Batlló space (c/Constitution 19, corner Mossèn Amadeu Oller), saints, Barcelona.

The call will have two points:

- Presentation of the new Occupational Health website of CGT Catalonia, where its practical contents will be explained (written models, guides, links,…)

- Later we will divide into Work Groups to share common needs and problems from different areas of action. So far the Working Groups already prepared are Public Administration, asbestos, Metal, Psychosocial and Mutual Risks, but we are open to proposals from Delegates to create more Working Groups.

As in the previous two Meetings held recently, we understand that it is a useful space for debate and reflection to bring together the struggle in the field of occupational risk prevention.

It is not necessary to register previously.

In this area, we recall that the Occupational Health Secretariat created a Telegram group of CGT Catalunya prevention delegates with the aim of sharing doubts, interesting materials and comments on occupational health, which currently has more than 300 delegates participating and it is a dynamic space where doubts are resolved by applying mutual support, pooling the experiences of each company and facilitating coordination.

If there are prevention delegates or interested parties who are not in the group and want to participate, they must contact the Secretary of Labor Health.

We will wait for you!

We Network and Mutual Support in the field of Occupational Health!

Or their benefits or our Health!

At last, what was well known to those affected has been recognized, and that it had been hidden so many times by the mutual employers. The administration allowed mutuals and companies to consider it a 'common disease' in order to save benefits.

A recent sentence 11 of March of the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) recognizes that continuous work at the computer causes the so-called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and similar diseases by understanding of the median nerve of the wrist. This judicial resolution opens the door to the recognition of the labor origin of the multiple professional categories that carry out data entry jobs on the computer, as computer scientists, librarians or administrators, following the path of the Supreme Court which has recently recognized it for cleaners or hairdressers.

The judgment of the TSJC of the past 11 March, number 6839/2015, analyzes the case of a worker with the professional category of librarian, and that devoted more than 60% from their working day to computer data entry jobs, determinant que portava a terme la seva feina “supporting both forearms on the work table exerting pressure on the elbows”. This repetitive task with the computer mouse, according to the court decision, was the cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which occurs when the median nerve, which extends from the forearm to the hand, it is pressed or caught at wrist level.
