The Union of Nursing Technicians (SAE) has denounced that the company awarded the ambulance transport service for the sick and injured in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura since last December "is not respecting what is stipulated in the corresponding collective agreement" with respect to the salaries of the subrogated workers.
According to the union, the agreement establishes that the new awarding company or contractor, in this case the ICOT-UTE Lanzafuer Transporte Sanitario group, "will be obliged to subrogate the employment contracts of the workers who had been providing that service, respecting in any case the modality of their hiring, and the rights and obligations that they have enjoyed in the six months prior to the award in the replaced company".
However, it states that "this is not the case" and that "the workers have seen the remuneration system modified and variations in their salary amounts corresponding to the month of February". A situation that it affirms is affecting the remuneration of "many" healthcare emergency technicians.
Faced with this, the Union of Nursing Technicians (SAE) has made available to its members the corresponding application form, so that "the hours of presence are duly paid and, ultimately, the remuneration system that was being enjoyed up to now is maintained".
"Otherwise, it implies a modification of the working conditions in relation to the remuneration system and salary amount and therefore the labor rights of this worker are being violated and acting illegally," the union argues, which does not rule out undertaking "the pertinent legal actions for the defense of the rights of professionals."
