Chueca said negotiations between the works council and FCC management are continuing to make progress and expressed confidence that both sides can reach an agreement. The aim, she said, is for dialogue to lead to the conclusion of the collective agreement, in negotiations marked by disagreements over working conditions and workers’ demands.
UNIONS KEEP THE DISPUTE OPEN
The suspension comes after CGT and CCOO denounced the 96% minimum service levels set by Zaragoza City Council, saying they had hindered the effective exercise of the right to strike. The unions believe these conditions limited the impact of the stoppages during the festivities and maintain their criticism of the municipal handling of the dispute.
Although they have suspended the strike during the Pilar Festival, both organizations are preparing a new schedule of mobilizations from November. They have also called a rally for this Thursday, October 15, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in Plaza de España. Their demands include financial improvements, work-life balance and equality measures, and an agreement on the new collective agreement, which affects nearly 1,000 families.
