Yesterday evening a colleague stopped by the union premises. His expression betrayed that the day had been adverse to him.

Suddenly a smile lit up his face: «-The colleagues of XXXXXX* have won the union elections».

*We do not mention the name of the company because even the workers expressly ignored it in their campaign, as a result of his unworthy attitude towards them. Don't mention the pig's name, although we all know who he is.

The victory in the electoral process was anecdotal. Those lips showed pride for the colleagues with whom he had worked side by side since a few years ago a ruthless employer had abandoned them "due to insolvency". The City Council of Mollet del Vallès, for which the failed subcontractor worked, he did not do much better and belittled them to inhuman extremes. It was necessary, from scratch, fight for surrogacy.

The new bidding company, the current unmentionable, has been treating them with arrogance and contempt: harassing pursuits by supervisory individuals, recurring threats of sanctions and suspension of salary, despotic dismissals of colleagues.

One of the colleagues harassed and threatened with sanctions ended up dead in what bourgeois laws euphemistically call a "work accident". Our companies were criminally reported for daring to say that certain "work accidents" are rather murders.

The empire of the law of the strongest, threats, persecutions, dismissals, a dead person, criminal complaints, serious diseases… anywhere they would have imposed the silence and mass surrender.

BUT WE ARE NOT ANY PLACE HERE.

These colleagues didn't know much about it a while ago, of Rights, they had the lost look of the lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Some and some gave very generously much of their time, wisdom and energy to teach them that dignity was within them and that they had to use it to be autonomous in the struggle to take the snake by the neck.

As of today, these colleagues have been around for a long time, when crossing them through the union, they no longer have a skewed gaze, but penetrating, the eyes of the dignity of the workers who, despite the condition of being humble, they know how to hold the boss's gaze and sing him the truths, demand his Rights and denounce every charlatan and force him to readmit dismissed workers.

And they do it alone, and they can help the rest of us.

Thanks to the selfless people who gave their time, not to direct them but to teach them in emancipatory autonomy.

Win union elections, an anecdote. THE SMILE, DIGNITY.

I probably shouldn't be the best person to write these lyrics, but no one else will.

Certain invisible situations deserve to be known, vindicated and not forgotten.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Reconciling work and family life. New work permit for child care:

Mothers and fathers or legal guardians who are responsible for one or more children can enjoy different permits in the workplace to care for minors., complying with a series of requirements and adapting to the current regulations that regulate these assumptions.

This permit can be enjoyed full-time or on a part-time basis., as an individual right of men and women, without your exercise being able to be transferred.

How do you apply for parental leave? 8 weeks?
The aforementioned regulations also regulate the way in which the interested party can request this right., since it is the worker himself who has to request it from his company: “It will be up to the worker to specify the start and end date of the enjoyment or, in your case, of the periods of enjoyment”, indicated.

The labor regulations applicable to excess temperature in classrooms are the Royal Decree 486/1997, from 14 d’abril, which establishes the minimum health and safety provisions in workplaces (BOE number. 97, from 23 of April of 1997), Modified by Royal Decree 2177/2004.

https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-1997-8669

This establishes that the temperatures in the classrooms must be between 17ºC and 27 ºC.

In addition, the State Parliament approved the accession and ratification of the UN Declaration of Children's Rights: https://www.boe.es/buscar/doc.php?id=BOE-A-1990-31312

In addition to Labor Law, teachers are responsible for protecting the health of young people and children.

Given that the Generalitat and the State make wet paper of their own regulations we will have to use theDirect Action (obviously legally protected because it is intended to enforce its own legal regulations). Let's see what they will say from the Judiciary, if from the Generalitat they get on our ass.

HOW WE SHOULD ACT?

1- We take collective action agreements from the trade union sections of the work center, in the cloister or company assemblies.

2- We place a thermometer in one of the center's classrooms (the miscellaneous).

3- When it exceeds the legally permitted temperature, we notify the rest of our colleagues.

4- We photograph the thermometer in the classroom together with a device that indicates the day and time.

5- We go out with the students from the classrooms to spaces in the center with temperatures that comply with the law.

6- We send the information through a secure means to the Center's Occupational Risk Coordinator, so that he can send it to the Directorate and this to the Education department.

7- Faced with any hierarchical threat, we call the police.

8- We are actively spreading the situation through social networks indicating the centre, the population and mentioning the Generalitat and the Department of Education. (If necessary, you can send them to us and we will do it vallesoriental.cgt.ensenyament@gmail.com ).

9- If we receive threats from the Management, let us know and we'll figure it out.

Obviously we will be more protected and protected from each other if we are part of a workers' association.

The Sanctions Section of the Department of Business and Work, has resolved in favor of the subrogated workers of Abertis, financially sanctioning the UTE, with a SEVERE SANCTION of the LISOS Law for breaches of the current Collective Agreement and for denying rights that are considered acquired:

– Days of own affairs year 2021, for your enjoyment during the 2022.
– Christmas lot year 2021.
– Flexible office hours.
– PCF Ticket Restaurante.

Among other things, in the disciplinary file they remind the UTE that: "must fully respect the rights that workers had recognized prior to subrogation, not only because this is recognized in the aforementioned article 44, rather, said right is recognized in numerous court rulings.”

to our knowledge, the UTE has not only breached these rights, but also continues to fail in social aid, as the help studies of employees, Help studies of children of employees, etc. So we will act unionized in defense of our rights.

Regardless of what is communicated, remind you to be prepared in case you finally, the UTE FULFILLS ITS THREAT and when the State Construction Agreement is published, we are passed unilaterally to this one. If they do, they will be breaking the LAW again!, as it seems that is his methodical, and they will have a response from the staff!

DO NOT HELP THEM TO END YOUR RIGHTS!!
IF YOU FIGHT, UP TO YOU!!

WHY ORGANIZE US IN UNION SECTIONS IN SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTES? FAQs

WHAT IS A UNION SECTION?

Well, something very simple and older than the nana. A Trade Union section is the foundation of the self-organization and collaboration of people at work: it is the stable assembly of the workers of a trade union at the workplace.

Once self-organized, we will have autonomy of action.

PRESS :
ON THE STABILIZATION OF INTERIM STAFF
CONTRACTED IN LAW BY THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION:

We consider that especially in the municipal and provincial world there is a very important volume of temporary people who at the time were plugged "in the finger" by the "living forces" of the time in power. Here we are concerned about the thing.

Others accessed it through more objective bags, with adequate studies and experience.

The last friday 26 February, our colleague Julian died in an accident at work. The Ramcon Company Committee wants to express our condolences to the family and friends of our colleague. Pending the closing of the judicial investigation we want to express the following considerations:

We already denounced last November, and it was one of the reasons that led us to call an UNDEFINED STRIKE the NO constitution of the Occupational Health Committee. We consider, that its constitution could have prevented this type of accident, in the same way that we denounce the absence of PPE.
