THE AP7 VALLÉS UTE REFUSES TO PROVIDE THE TIME RECORDS TO THE CGT, AND NOW HE FACE SANCTIONS!

Inspection supports union complaint, uncovering suspicious practices.

The company claims it only shows data to individual employees, ignoring the rights of the Legal Representation of Workers.

Clear breach of the Workers' Statute!

The UTE must allow access to workday records to the Legal Representation of Workers as dictated by law in Article 34.9 of ET.

Another case that calls into question transparency and labor rights!!

In response to the latest statement from the UTE dated 22/02/24:

If the UTE tells us a story, the RLT also knows how to tell stories, stories and fables...

Once upon a time there was a Temporary Business Union, leave OUT, who boasted of being the most kind and generous with her workers. They offered them free coffee, extra days off and even massages in the break room. Nevertheless, behind that façade of benevolence, The UTE had a hidden plan: They wanted to take away all job benefits from their employees to maximize their profits..

On the other hand, the Legal Representation of Workers together with the working staff, who were known for being relentless in defending workers' rights. They did not tolerate abuse, no injustices and were willing to fight to the end for what they considered fair.

When the time came to adapt a new agreement, The UTE tried to impose abusive clauses that curtailed workers' rights. Nevertheless, these, led by the Union Section of the CGT, They flatly refused to accept the unfair conditions. They called an assembly and, unanimously, They decided that they would not allow them to reduce their salary or any other benefits.

Leave OUT, surprised by the resistance of her employees, decided to report them to court. But unfortunately, The judge assigned to the case turned out to be a fair and staunch defender of labor rights. He dismissed the UTE's demands and ruled in favor of the workers.

Humiliated and defeated, The UTE was forced to withdraw with its tail between its legs. He never again attempted to undermine the rights of his employees, who celebrated their victory with joy and pride. And so, History showed that justice always prevails, even on the most powerful companies.

And red colorín, This story is over.

                                                                                                                LONG LIVE THE STRUGGLE OF THE WORKING CLASS!

Comrades s, after a year since the complaint of the Abertis surrogate group, on three breaches of CUN III and the Christmas Lot of 2021 and having been treated by:

– 1º BARCELONA LABOR INSPECTION.
– 2º SANCTIONS SECTION OF THE ENTERPRISE AND LABOR DEPARTMENT.
– 3º DIR. GRAL OF REL. LAB., have. AUT., SAY. I SALUT LAB. OF THE DEP. BUSINESS AND WORK.

In all of them they have ruled in favor of the workers and the Company has been sanctioned with a
INFRINGEMENT classified as SERIOUS in labor matters of the LISOS LAW.

The UTE today informed us that they will partially comply with the resolution:
– Days of own affairs year 2021, for your enjoyment during the 2022:
They will be compensated 2,5 days of own business. (Request them in time, for company organization. We advise first ordering the 2,5 days of 22). (For this one 24 you have a total of 5.5 days).
– Christmas lot year 2021.:
It will be paid in the February payroll. 57,57€. (Observe that it is reflected in the payroll as a Christmas Lot concept 2021).
– Flexible office hours:
The UTE refuses to adapt the schedule as indicated in the Art. 20 of the CUN III.
– PCF Ticket Restaurante:
The company denies the right to Art. 38 PCF without the possibility of having a Restaurant Ticket card.

From the CGT union section, the company's position leaves us with a bittersweet taste and we want to express our concern about the decision taken to accept only part of the resolutions proposed.. We are shocked by the company's criteria in choosing to assume only two aspects of these resolutions and discard the rest.. We are no longer surprised by the way in which the UTE admits its responsibilities, on this occasion by omitting compliance with the provisions of Art. 38 of the PCF, in relation to the Restaurant Ticket Card, and in Art.20 on Flexible Office Hours.

The lack of transparency of the Company in what was communicated to the Workers' Representatives last day 8, in relation to the mentioned personnel, where it was said that the Construction Convention would apply from the publication of CUN IV, and that the working conditions of Abertis would continue. It is contradictory that the lack of application of the Article is not corrected 38 and the article 20, since the company assures that the Abertis conditions for these personnel will be maintained.

The response of the UTE to this disagreement, has been that the same conditions that applied to date will continue to apply, and the rest don't. That is to say, they will continue as in an open buffet., They will select parts of the agreement they like and discard those they don't.. further, On the other hand, they tell us that they had judicialized the conflict and at the same time they deny it., claiming that it was still in process.

In Picking We had always been with what we believed were “the unions.”, commissions i Ugt. They came to us, They set up the entire electoral racket for us, we didn't have to worry about anything. Yes indeed, when it was necessary to negotiate in the Committee or when the company exceeded its abuses with some of the workers and they required advice and support to combat it, The answer was “it is what it is.”, the law is like that, "no more can be done". Imagine the anger and helplessness it generated in the squad.: suffer injustices, not knowing how to face them and having your supposed defenders ignore you because “it is what it is”.

Then we heard that from the Grífols laboratories, tired of the same, they had joined a union called CGT en masse, that we were always told that they were revolutionaries "they close companies", and now they were doing much better. What they did and what they demanded was what the workers themselves decided., vaya.

So that, some of us approached the place in Mollet del Vallès.

At first it gave crab, friendly but direct people. They didn't exactly promise us the golden sky and they did promise us that they would accompany us and help us., but that it was us who had to be aware of our rights and learn to claim them. You don't have to know much about laws, that the laws are written there to be used when necessary. And be able to go further.

The first day was perhaps not to return. but we came back.

And they helped us, wow they helped us, but they also passed on to us the responsibility of deciding and being sovereignly autonomous for the first time.. And that takes effort, it even hurts. But once you free yourself from the corset of clientelistic dependency, you fly, you feel brave, you dare to openly vindicate that which should be yours by right and that are not alms or crumbs from the Patron. It's called seeing clearly..

And we broke our chains with the collaborationist unions with the companies: We stand in union elections as ourselves, with the colleagues of the CGT.

And the day 23 November we vote. The emotion was great. Exhausted by the preparation work done, for the first time by ourselves, excitement for potential support (o no) of our own companions to the emancipatory process, fear of having shown our face and if we lost there would be consequences.

but we win. Sometimes the hunger for freedom also attracts the bird that lives comfortably fed in the cage.. Unbridled euphoria. Magic. At first we didn't believe it.

Now it's time to step firmly and begin the arduous task of vindicating the rights that have come to us during all these years. bullfighting the company with the invaluable collaboration of the “union advisors” of the unions-management. BUT NOW WE WILL DO IT, UNITED, WITHOUT INTERMEDIARIES.

In this fight we have all been women, our 25N against corporate patriarchy.

A big grateful hug to the colleagues of the CGT of Vallès Oriental, all workers too.

Our small and modest revolution, but our.

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 is the case of the eight-week work permit that they can request on the occasion of returning to school..

The eight-week work permit is an aid to reconciling family and work for parents who have children under the age of 8 year old, who may be absent from their job for a maximum of eight weeks, continuously or discontinuously, both in the vacation months and with the arrival of back to school in the month of September.

This permission, duration not exceeding 8 weeks, continuous or discontinuous, It is non-transferable and can be enjoyed flexibly..

Workers will have the right to parental leave, for child care, daughter or minor fostered for a period of more than one year, until the minor turns eight years old, is included in the Royal Decree-Law 5/2023.

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.

further, You must notify the company in advance of 10 days or the one specified by the collective agreements, except force majeure, taking into account the situation and the organizational needs of the company.

Finally, you have to know that, in the event that several people from the same company can and want to benefit from this right in the same period of time, disrupting the proper functioning of the company, The postponement of the concession can be agreed for a reasonable period, justifying it in writing and after having offered an equally flexible alternative for enjoyment.

It is an UNpaid Permit.

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!!

The colleagues of the Santa Maria de Palautordera post office have said enough!

Enough overwork, enough to the deplorable conditions of the current workplace. We have acted accordingly; making public in the neighborhood and in the town hall the terrible working conditions and the embarrassing postal service that the Post Office officials lend to the locality, with the accumulation of thousands of letters and notifications.

He  first visible effect of this action,  has been hiring a more worker, both in the morning shift, as in the afternoon, even so, are we  aware that this measure is only a conjunctural solution.

We claim  our move to the new premises, which the Post Office has had for a long time  of a decade, as well as a structural increase in staff as the only definitive solution to reverse the terrible public postal service. We will not settle for less!

STRUGGLE IS THE ONLY WAY
AND SANTA Mª DE PALAUTORDERA IS AN EXAMPLE!

SINCE THE UNION SECTION OF THE CGT WAS CREATED IN LITTLE BUDDHA, IN JULY 2017, WE HAVE NOT STOP RECEIVING PRESSURE TOWARDS OUR UNION RIGHTS.

 

 

UNION REPRESSION IS ADDITED TO THE LABOR REPRESSION THAT TWO MEMBERS OF THE SECTION HAVE BEEN SUFFERING PREVIOUSLY.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To this day we have suffered:

-Suspensions of 60 days of employment and salary due to the existence of a section Twitter account and the use of public haghtags that the company considers its own (acts that the company considers as “hostiles”).

-Demand of 150.061,27 € for the activity on Twitter of the union section and because the company considers that we want “profit” in her name.

-Suspension of 60  days of employment and salary for disciplinary measures without objective and reasonable justification to a member of the union section. Among them for supporting the strike on November 8 and assisting the doctor during working hours for a pregnancy checkup, alleging damage to the organization of the company.

-15 days of suspension for collecting information about Lipoatrophy in relation to pregnancy.

-Degradation of our job performing lower category tasks, taking away all kinds of access to the tasks of almost 10 years of work.

-We don't knowrecthe other day  as a union section andse warns us that we cannot distribute information to workers at the company door during non-working hours without prior communication.

Se has communicated to us actively and passively that WE WANT OUT OF THE COMPANY, it is considered that we create a bad environment and we are not loyal, along with abusive behaviors aimed at professionally and psychologically degrading. It seems that by not getting us to voluntarily leave our job due to exhaustion, a dismissal is manufactured that does not entail a cost to the company..

FROM THE UNION SECTION OF THE CGT WE DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL OF ALL SANCTIONS AND COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE MEMBERS OF THIS SECTION.

 

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! SO THAT YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE AND THAT WE DO NOT THINK ABOUT GIVING UP OUR UNION AND LABOR RIGHTS

Companys / es,

next wednesday 18 In October, the conciliation will take place between our colleague Marta and the graphic design company Little Buddha.

Since last July the trade union section was established in this company, it seems that this did not take well at all that the colleagues decided to organize.

In this way, The hearing will be held next Wednesday. 11 In August, the company issued a written sanction against our colleague Marta (trade union representative of the section) to have a union section twitter account @CGTlittlebuddha, since the company accused the company of appropriating the company's trade name or using hashtags associated with the company such as #ommm (that we remember are public), in addition to asking that the colleagues destroy the shirt they have made to make themselves known among the workers.

We ask for your support, so that the company can visualize that if they touch us one, affect us all!!

we need you (when and where):

Wednesday 18 of October, at 11.30 a.m.

in the Department of Labor (C/ Albareda 2)

Enough union and labor repression in Little Buddha or anywhere else!

SUCCESS OF THE BARCELONA BICING STRIKE

In the first of 15 days called during the Bicing strike, today 12 July, the follow-up of the mobility strike, maintenance and workshop has been from 100%. Both the morning picket and the rally in Plaça Sant Jaume in Barcelona were very crowded. In the afternoon there is a call during the strike hours, from 16 a 18 hours, another concentration of 17 a 19 in Sant Jaume.

In it 2017 the Bicing workers have started a fight to reverse a situation that has been dragging on since its beginnings in the 2006. In July of 2006 Barcelona City Council issues a tender for the management of the Bicing activity in the city for 55.000.000 euros, was awarded to Clear Channel, American multinational, in December of 2006 only for 22.495 640, that is to say, less than half of what, according to the studies carried out by the City Council, it cost to implement Bicing. In turn Clear Channel outsourced it to another company. The consequences of this economic reduction in initial investment, they fell on the workers and their economic and health conditions, extending to the present day.

In it 2006 the excuse for having a workforce in precarious conditions was that the activity was new and had to be consolidated. To all the workers who tried to denounce the situation and organize themselves, they were immediately dismissed, labor insecurity in the company has been festering for years. Bicing is now consolidated and this excuse does not hold.

In it 2017 the situation is similar. It is providing the Clear Channel service provisionally and a tender is being held from the town hall for 10 years, 2018 al 2028, with a total amount of 227.568.148 euros that are awarded in September of this year. The annual cost is 22.756.824 euros, and the part dedicated to salary costs is of 4 365.773 of euros that is to say the 19 % of the tender, in which the managers and coordinators of the company are included and which they take alone 1.100.000 d'euros. No company devotes only such a small amount to salary costs. We believe that the costs allocated to workers' wages are totally insufficient and the consequences are very low wages and a lack of investment in occupational risk prevention materials.

From the CGT we hold the Clear Channel company responsible for this situation for having presented such low figures that served as the basis for the tender, and to Barcelona City Council for not verifying that these numbers are being used to pay a pittance and to carry out the tender without the relevant checks, both economic and in terms of occupational risk prevention.

The CGT considers that some of the options to alleviate this business and city council "error" can be to make a change in the tender, in the wage bill, guaranteeing that workers are paid decent wages and that resources are allocated to prevention or that the tender is withdrawn and another is published, solving the deficiencies that have been detected. These proposals are feasible and all that is needed is the will on the part of the company and the city council.

We remain open to dialogue aimed at finding a definitive solution that eradicates precariousness in Bicing, meanwhile we will continue to mobilize so that we are heard. This situation, known both by the company and the City Council, cannot continue.

The rest of the strike days of 4 hours are called on the days 12,14,15,16,17,19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, 30 i 31 July. Friday 14 of July there will also be rallies in Plaça Sant Jaume de 9 a 11 hours and of 17 a 19 hours.

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.

Ada Colau has gone from cataloging the year 2014 to the managers of the Barcelona Metro company as a 'mafia that needs to be kicked out', to support them and act against workers' strikes. What is the reason for this change??

In TMB there is 579 managers outside of agreement, many of them plugged in by PSC, ICV i CDC. People like Didac Pestanya, now retired, mayor of Gavà of the PSC during 20 years with a salary that amounted to more than €200,000.

Of 2011 these managers got a raise 15% while that of the template was still frozen, with 400 people hired on a precarious basis and strongly pressured (for example, pregnant women are denied job changes to keep staff to a minimum).

more 60 managers receive more salary than the mayoress of Barcelona. The City Council repeatedly violates the transparency law and does not publish the salaries of these managers, while criminalizing the workers. Ada Colau herself attacked the very concept of a strike saying “strike is not negotiated because it pressures”. Clar, Ada, that's what strikes do. She had the same opinion when she herself occupied her banking offices to stop evictions by putting pressure on a higher economic power?

Relationships with the bank seem to be great, T-Mobilitat is privatized in 'la Caixa' by 94 million euros.

In this video the Metro workers explain all this perfectly:

They have occurred 68 agreement meetings without the city council wanting to close any solution, linking the interests of a management group with their own. Because?

Barcelona en Comú is practicing possibilism with the caste to organize the balance of interests in the city council. The winning bid included ICV, to which PSC later joined the councilorial government. Both parties have lived and live from a clientelism with 'their people' which they place in the different bodies to which they have access. And to our people, the TMB mafia that Colau was referring to, don't touch it.

The city council of Barcelona is currently the defense lawyer of a useless dandruff, incompetent and neoliberal who does not hesitate to seek confrontation with workers to defend his interests and those of his financial friends.

Mercedes Vidal, president of TMB, Marc Grau, director-pitbull of TMB, BEC, ICV, PSC, CDC is to blame for not wanting to find a solution to the situation.

From the IT Coordinator of the CGT we give all our support to the workers fighting for their rights and against the mafia of managers and politicians.

Post office strike Lliçà d'AmuntPress release:
The workers of the Lliçà d’Amunt Post Office are calling off the indefinite strike

Last monday 5 September, the workers of the Lliçà d'Amunt post office decided to definitively call off the indefinite strike called last 12 August due to lack of hiring. We want to remember that it remained suspended until the management's plans for this month were known..

At first they told us that they would not hire anyone., fact that motivated that on Friday 2 September it was decided to resume the same.

When the address knows the call for the same, It seems that they reacted and common sense has prevailed and they have hired a partner until the end of the month. With this fact the squad will have 7 effective in september.

If it hadn't been for this fight, this summer Lliçà d'Amunt would have had a postal service lower than one 50% of the template in some stripes of it.

The workers of the lliça post office encourage the group of colleagues from the different post offices to organize among themselves to defend the public service. We cannot allow brutal personnel cuts, We cannot allow there to be bag colleagues who do not call them because they are not hired..

We will remain vigilant so that situations like those of this summer do not occur again., and in any case if they are repeated, We would once again remain firm in mobilization as a tool to defend a universal and quality postal service

Thank you for the support received from the CGT union as well as neighbors, and entities from Lliçà d'Amunt.

If we fight we can lose, If we don't fight we are lost!!!

With a 80% follow-up on the first day of strike, and the presence at the midday rally of some 40 people, among workers affected, neighbors and comrades of CGT, today's strike has been successful. We concentrated in the Lliçà d’Amunt Town Hall to go to the Post Office and there, comrade Àlvaro explained the situation and the reasons for the strike. When the fight started, the company replied that we forgot to hire anyone. Today, 12 of August, they had already hired 3 people.

This next Tuesday 16 of August, the assembly of workers of Correus de Lliçà d’Amunt will decide what steps to take in the new scenario. It is once again demonstrated that only with the direct action of the workers are we taken into account, it's the only way to make ourselves heard.

By mails, we want more hiring and less exploitation!
