Barcelona's public transport goes on strike during the Mobile World Congress
Monday 22 and Wednesday 24 from February the Metro will operate with minimal services and on Tuesdays 23 i said 25 the buses will make partial stops of two hours per shift. The Stop Pujades platform also organizes rallies for Wednesday 24
The last-minute negotiations with the presence of the mayor Ada Colau, the councilor for mobility Mercedes Vidal, TMB managers and staff representatives have not come to fruition. That is why the week of 22 al 26 of February will become quite a challenge for the mobility of the city. After nine hours of talks behind closed doors, to 1 this Sunday morning, the negotiations that were taking place at the headquarters of the Ministry of Labor broke down, Social Affairs and Family. On leaving the Óscar Sánchez offices (CGT), spokesperson for the Metro committee, considered TMB's latest offer a "provocation" and a "shame".. The workers ask that they be done 600 new fixed contracts – TMB offers 265 – and that the salary be increased linearly, the same increase for both those who earn more and those who earn less.
Mayor Ada Colau justified the council's position in a press conference saying that "there is a limited budget framework and if we went beyond the proposal we would be compromising the quality of the public service, or we should make the service worse or raise rates or raise taxes, that's why we can't go further". Councilwoman Mercedes Vidal added "a monthly salary increase of 150 euros the first any i 150 euros plus the second year we can't take it on".
So, with the start of the Mobile World Congress, the swords are held high and the pulse between the public transport staff and the council. As a result of the shutdowns on Monday 22 and Wednesday 24 February, the Metro service will reduce the frequency of passage by one 70% during the entire day and in one 50% at peak hours (from 6:30 a 9:30 in the morning and from 4pm to 8pm in the afternoon). The template will manifest at 2/4 from 5 Monday afternoon, with the starting point of the march at the Jardinets de Gràcia. on tuesday 23 and he said 25 there will be partial stops to the bus service, called by CGT, COS, ACTUB, USOC, PSA i CNT, and which can have a high incidence despite the fact that CCOO and UGT have distanced themselves from it. They will be among the 9 and the 11 in the morning and between 2/4 from 8 of the evening and 2/4 from 10 of the night, and the demands are focused on "stopping the privatization of Public Services", "end precarious employment" and "recover the purchasing power of the workforce".
