From FSOC they want to publicly express their "concern and firm rejection" of the events included in the recent ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands, which condemns the company to pay more than 100,000 euros to a former worker of the Art, Culture and Tourism Centers, for an irregular promotion of an administrative assistant position.
"This is not a minor issue. We are not only talking about economic damage to the public company, but also a serious violation of the principles of equality, merit and capacity. We are concerned —and very much so— that this action is not an isolated case, but a reflection of a way of acting that puts transparency and legality at risk in personnel management," they declare.
"We want to remember that already in the Board of Directors meeting on September 6, 2018, our union representative warned that the hiring carried out did not conform to the bases of the call. A single position was offered, but permanent positions were granted to four more people, who should have been included in the substitution list, not converted into permanent staff directly," they continue.
According to FSOC, "the Director of Human Resources, in her response, appealed to the collective agreement to justify these actions. However, article 41.1 of the agreement is clear: the substitution list is made up of people who do not access the position, but have sufficient score, and their function is to cover substitutions or temporary vacancies for one year, not to grant permanent positions without a call".
From FSOC they demand that "the pertinent responsibilities be assumed. An arbitrary interpretation of the collective agreement or decisions that compromise legality and equity in the selection processes cannot continue to be tolerated."
"We are here to defend the rights of all workers, and we are not going to allow the principles that should govern in any public administration to be trampled on. Enough of unilateral decisions and using the rules as it suits. We demand rigor, transparency and respect for the legal and conventional framework," they conclude.
