CSIF Calls for Extra Pay Compensation for Ceuta Public Employees

The CSIF union has asked the Ministry for Public Function to grant an extraordinary financial allowance to all public employees working amid the crisis in Ceuta, recognizing these professionals’ work and compensating for the “effort” they have been making since late July.

Additionally, CSIF requested the urgent convening of the public administrations’ negotiating committee so that the government can approve extraordinary funds or use those already approved, as well as European Union funds, to implement this financial allowance, as has already been done in the case of the National Police.

In this regard, it highlighted the “exemplary commitment” of all sectors without exception, as well as that of private-sector groups that are “vital” in day-to-day life, such as private security. “CSIF will not tolerate first- and second-class workers being created” amid a crisis affecting all citizens equally, it asserted.

MEASURES REQUESTED

For this reason, the union announced a series of immediate actions, including asking the Government Delegation, the Autonomous City and employers’ associations representing private contractors to open technical committees to design the extension of this extraordinary productivity bonus.

The union will also demand that the next extraordinary funds allocated to Ceuta include specific items to cover this salary compensation retroactively. Meanwhile, it is maintaining its roadmap to convey to European institutions in Brussels the need for a comprehensive labor contingency plan, recalling that Ceuta is Europe’s border and that its public- and private-sector workers “cannot continue working to the limit of their strength without the European Union’s financial support.”
