CCOO has started a "hot Holy Week" of mobilizations in front of the Hotel Be Live Experiencie in Costa Teguise, where it has already concentrated on numerous occasions in recent months in its fight against the precariousness of the cleaning ladies and the outsourcing of the cleaning service. The union has also asked the employers' associations in the sector and the Cabildo to intervene. "We must not allow hotels with stars and workers crashed", he says.
In a statement, CCOO denounces that, "despite the two requirements of the Labor Inspection, the hotel company and its subcontractor, Genser S.L., have invented a new and indecent trick to lower the salaries of their workers." "Where this hotel is advertised, sold and charged to its customers as a 4-star hotel, while paying its employees 3-star salaries," he says.
For the union, "this means a very important salary loss for the workers, who are required to do the work in the 4-star standards" and "translates in turn into unfair competition to the rest of the establishments that pay their workers according to the category of the establishment"
Thus, CCOO, which explains that after 8M and 17M it has intensified the protests, considers that "the employers' associations in the sector should pronounce and solve these serious imbalances." In addition, it also understands that "the Cabildo, which is the one that grants these classification licenses, should intervene in these events." "If they are so interested in quality tourism, they should take action on this matter. We must not allow hotels with stars and workers crashed."
"We will pray and bring our offerings to Santa Precaria"
Regarding the mobilizations, the union guarantees "a hot Holy Week to the new management of the hotel, recently incorporated." "We will shout loud and clear that these business practices are not well received on our island and we will inform its customers that the quality of the services they pay for is not transferred to the employees who serve them with such professionalism. We will pray and bring our offerings to Santa Precaria in this Holy Week of high hotel occupancy, where we will hold processions in honor of Our Lady of Precariousness", he points out.
Specifically, the protests began this Monday, the day on which they concentrated from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., as they will do this Tuesday and Wednesday. And on Holy Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the "Great Santa Precaria Procession" will take place, as they have baptized this protest.
