The UGT Canarias union in Lanzarote demonstrated this Thursday, October 20, to denounce the dismissal of a worker from the Bluesea Hotel in Costa Teguise, after he nominated himself as a candidate for the electoral process to establish this organization in the tourist complex.
Members of UGT Canarias have explained to La Voz that this dismissal, carried out on October 10, was carried out as a result of the organization's candidacy to form a union in the hotel, "where there was no representation of this type."
"As a response, we find that the management has fired this worker, violating a fundamental right such as the representation of workers and being affiliated with a union organization," they state.
From the hotel management "they have actively and passively refused to negotiate for this worker to return to his position", as indicated by the members of the union, so UGT has initiated the appropriate legal procedures, "both legally and socially - with the demonstration held today at the doors of the complex-".
UGT points out that this fact responds to the "practice of fear that many directors continue to use on workers so that they do not join", and affirms that these actions "are the result of other times and not of the 21st century, where it is a labor right to have representation".
