The workers of the company Arrecife Bus, concessionaire of interurban transport in Lanzarote, will present an indefinite strike notice from mid-April, if agreements are not reached that guarantee the breaks that correspond to them for security.
The CCOO union has reported this Wednesday in a statement of the agreement reached by the workers to claim the right to a free weekend per month, a demand that caused a previous strike notice but that the company still has not solved, the note says.
Another of the employees' demands is that the right to a 30-minute daily rest be respected, having been reduced to 15 in a period of eight hours a day and unilaterally, CCOO has indicated.
"The workers barely have time to perform basic hygiene or feeding functions and also lack places prepared for it", according to the aforementioned union.
The Federation of Services to Citizenship, which has the majority of union representation, recalls that "fatigue kills on the road, so it describes as reckless that the company tries to do business with breaks".
If agreements are not reached in relation to rotating weekly breaks, with at least one weekend per month, and daily breaks are scheduled in a way that allows safe driving for all those affected, the strike will go ahead, the note stresses.
