– CNT is calling for a
week of strikes in the Infrastructure Management division in the public
Department of Territory and Sustainability to protest the illegal outsourcing of workers.
– The Department has moved members of our union branch to another shop in a clear attempt to sweep the situation under the carpet.
– The illegal outsourcing of workers in the public administration wastes millions of euros of public money.
called a week-long strike between June 20-27 in the division of
Infrastructure Management in the Department of Territory and
Sustainibility to protest the illegal subcontracting of workers. Under
the management of the public CTTI (Center of Telecommunications and IT),
the Department of Territory has given over the maintenance of the
infrastructure to a company which in turn is limited to using workers
through other companies in this sector. This has enabled the illegal
assignment of workers through different companies which form a chain of
subcontractors, pocketing a significant amount of public resources.
suit against the Department in recent months, demanding an immediate
solution to the problem. Far from being receptive, the management of the
Department have refused to take a clear position on the matter. In
fact, the situation has begun to look worrying in recent weeks, with the
sudden decision of the Department to transfer subcontracted workers who
are members of our union section of the workplace, without changing
their functions, which represents a clear attempt to mask the reality of
what is currently going on in the division of Infrastructure
Management.
being a violation of the rights of the workers, particularly severe in
the case of the Generalitat, this practice of outsourcing and illegal
assignment of the workers is a serious waste of public money that ends
up in the coffers of such companies that do not have any function other
than hiring workers. Specifically, the tender in the division of
Infrastructure Management was won by the company with the most expensive
offer (€ 2,195,907), with an annual cost of € 81,329 per worker. Some
workers do not receive a even a quarter of this figure while
subcontracting companies divide up the difference.
The irregularities in the recruitment of IT staff have already been
publicly denounced by Pilar Pifarré, current Secretary of Administration
and Civil Service, in 2010, declaring, with respect to the way of
hiring in CTTI that «If anyone knows the law, they know that this all is
quite irregular, another thing is what «passes» for norms and laws
«[1]. However, now in the government, CiU (Convergence and Union party)
has declined to take a position. For all these reasons, our union
requires the Department to end the illegal practice of outsourcing and
the precarization of public administration workers, considering it is
completely unacceptable to continue with a policy of cuts while refusing
to maintain reasonable and efficient staffing, more austere in
budgetary terms.
