20F trial against the representation of the workers demanded by
Collective conflict by the UTE AP7 Vallés company – SECTOR B04

📢Comrades! ​ ​ ​

👏We appreciate that yesterday, day 20 February, the CGT Vallès Oriental He has concentrated on the courts of Granollers in support of the workers of the UTE AP7 Vallés, denouncing the company's maneuvers to precarize their working conditions.

Prior to trial, The judge has gathered us at Representation of workers (RT) and to the company for mediation. In the conciliation they have tried to force an agreement, With the intention of suspending the trial.

💪For a majority of the RT, The agreed in assembly has been determined and submitted to the trial. Our lawyer has firmly defended our rights, based on the European jurisprudence, like the Sentencia twenty C108/10 Scattolon, That says that it cannot be that as a cause of the subrogation there is a worsening of the working conditions of the workers because that would go against what the directive 77/187/CEE says. This directive is a European regulation that seeks precisely to protect workers in case of company transfer. If there are collective agreements, The company cannot simply opt for another more favorable agreement for it, Present a contest and, Consequently, Reduce salaries. That is to say, You can't hire someone who previously charged five, for three and pay only one. That is what should not happen. They are criteria that follow the Supreme Court.

At the end of the trial, We have come out with good feelings, But the final decision is in the hands of the judge. Inform you that the trial will not be finished until both parties review and give compliance with the evidence provided by the lawyers, until Wednesday at 3:00 p.m..

We hope that the sentence will be fair and favorable. But if not, We will resort to it Court of Justice of the European Union (TWENTY). We will not allow our acquired rights to be trampled. It should be remembered that the Ministry pays a game of 745.000€ Annual for the salary difference between Abertis and construction, ¡¡💵 Public money for the salary of the workers, Not for business benefit!!

🔥From the CGT, We will continue to fight for the dignity and rights of workers and we will be aware of acting if necessary trade.

UTE AP7 denounces to the Company Committee

From the CGT-Ute Ap7 Vallés Trade Union Section, you inform you that the legal representation of the workers (RT) We have received a lawsuit from the company for collective conflict whose trial is scheduled to he 20/02/2025, at 12h. In Social Court No. 2 Granollers.

In said demand, The company asks the judge:

  1. That determines whether the collective agreement applicable to the subrogated workers of Abertis is the VII General Collective Agreement of the Construction Sector, With the particularities of the Construction and Public Works Sector Agreement of Barcelona (2017-2021).
  2. That the date of application of the agreement is that of the state: 1 of January of 2022.
  3. That regulates working conditions, including economic aspects, workday, etc.

The RLT considers that:

– The applicable agreement must be the Construction Agreement of the Province of Barcelona, since it has preference on the state, how applies to the rest of the non -subrogated template.

– It is not viable to apply two agreements at the same time.

– The most beneficial conditions acquired by workers must be respected, According to the article 44 of the Statute of Workers and the article 11 of the VI Construction Agreement of Barcelona.

 

Abertis agreement beat the 28/12/2023. To prevent the current work day (4-2) It will consolidate as contractual instead of the agreement day (Monday to Friday, more favorable for workers), and suspend prescription, he 27/12/2024 We present a conciliation ballot to the Department of Treball. The conciliation was held 20/01/25 ending without agreement, and has allowed interrupting the prescription of the day.

We call for you to accompany us and appreciate your time and support.

Comrades,

[As a reminder]:

It's been a year already, since the UTE AP7 VALLÉS put pressure on a group of Abertis subrogated workers with a letter informing that, from the 23 September 2023, The VII Collective Agreement of the Construction Sector would apply.
It was also indicated that the current economic conditions would continue until 30 September 2023 and?, from that date, would depend on the negotiation procedure that was being carried out.
In the Assembly of 20 November 2023, The affected staff said a resounding NO.. They were not going to accept any agreement that implied the reduction of economic and labor conditions without any compensation..
By majority, It was agreed that we preferred to abide by a final ruling rather than give in to business pressure, coercion and bad faith.
If we had given in and accepted the company's proposal at the assembly, today we would have about a 7% less purchasing power per year, which is equivalent to having lost a full monthly payment. further, office staff would have had to work an extra week a year, namely, 40 weekly hours, and I would have lost some 2,300
€ in meal tickets.
It is a great achievement that we have defended our rights and maintained our working conditions. Let's continue united in the fight, because collective effort always gives results.

Health!

IF YOU FIGHT, UP TO YOU!

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.

 INFORMATIONAL STATEMENT 20-02-2024

Jul 192023
 

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!!
