The National Confederation of Labor (CNT) has denounced an aggression against the president of Las Kellys, Myriam Barros, who last Thursday traveled from Lanzarote to the town of Corralejo to participate in a protest at the doors of the Mirador de Lobos hotel. "The colleague suffered a hard blow in the form of a punch while she was in front of the security booth, being the hotel's security guard who gave her the blow from inside the booth", they say from the union.
According to them, "luckily the colleague did not suffer any major mishap, but the incident was reported to the authorities who appeared, and made the aforementioned guard aware that the action taken by him constituted a crime." Faced with these events, the CNT has shown its support for Myriam Barros and also its "rejection of these anti-union acts practiced by the company." And they believe that "this incident is one more example of the pressure exerted by the company on the workers", who "are being taught to commit vile acts of scabbing."
"We say this last thing," adds the union, "because the company also prepared an informative note for customers alerting them to our presence near the hotel, in which we were accused of being communists, sensationalists and of having been fired for inappropriate behavior."
In the protest, according to the CNT, "almost thirty workers" participated, to demand the payment of salaries, the reinstatement of colleagues dismissed in what they consider an "illegal ERE" and the non-outsourcing of the positions of cleaning ladies through the ETT 'Emplea'.
Among the protesters were representatives of the Las Kellys collective in Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, to whom the union wanted to thank "their effort", since they maintain that "this is a struggle in the hospitality sector of solidarity, horizontal and direct action."
