Workers of a company subcontracted by the Canary Islands Brewing Company denounce having been dismissed "without compensation or ERTE". "They have left us stranded on the street," one of those affected told La Voz.
"No to unfair dismissal and without liquidation of the Daviaza company," read a banner they carried this Wednesday at the doors of what was their job "until March 27," which is when they claim they were notified of the dismissal.
In addition, although only three workers were protesting at the doors of the center, they claim that there have been a dozen affected. "Only the manager and two guys who are working with the trucks have stayed. The rest are unemployed," one of them specified.
"I don't have unemployment papers or anything"
According to what this man told La Voz, after the state of alarm was declared, the company first "forced" them to take vacations. "In my case, they gave them to me on the 18th as if I were asking for them, when that was not the case," says this worker, who nine days later was told that "there was no other option" than to send him to unemployment.
In his case, he claims that he refused to sign the dismissal letter because "it meant giving up the compensation", when he has been "working for the company for eight years". "Then they offered to pay me 40% but I said no," adds this man, who says that, after that, he has been able to verify that he is still "registered with Social Security" as a company worker, but that he is no longer working or allowed to access the facilities. "So I don't have unemployment papers or anything," he protests.
In one of the dismissal letters of another worker, to which La Voz has had access, it is indicated that it occurs "due to the company's impossibility to maintain the position" for which this person has been hired. In addition, it is specified that "it does not obey in any way to disciplinary causes", but to the provisions of article 52 c) of the Workers' Statute, referring to the termination of the contract for objective reasons.
