Workers of the Insular Hospital have taken their protest this Tuesday to the doors of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, coinciding with the Plenary that the Corporation was celebrating. This new act is added to the daily concentrations that are being carried out since Monday of last week, with stoppages of 20 minutes in each work shift.
"The workers do not rule out starting a total and indefinite strike in the coming days," warn from Intersindical Canaria, which has called this new act of protest in front of the Cabildo. In a statement, the union accuses the government group formed by CC, PSOE and the PIL of "lying again, as has been their usual tonic in recent years."
The representatives of the workers maintain that "the money that was budgeted to pay them part of the retributions for which they have been fighting for years, will be used to pay judicial sentences." "They are doing the same thing they did at the end of 2015, using the money destined for the Hospital workers for other items," they lament. In addition, they have asked again for support from the population of Lanzarote in their protests and demands. "Let's not forget that the Hospital belongs to everyone," they defend.
"Tired of hearing lie after lie"
The workers resumed the mobilizations on December 12, after having interrupted them in the month of July, "for trusting in the commitment acquired by both the Minister of Human Resources and Finance and the Minister of Health of the Cabildo." At that time, they assure that they were promised that the agreement that was approved in the Governing Council in 2015, to equalize the salaries of these workers, would finally begin to be executed this month of October, but it was not so either.
"We are tired and tired of hearing lie after lie," said Intersindical Canaria when announcing the start of new daily stoppages of 20 minutes. Now, ten days after starting that protest measure and in the absence of responses from the Cabildo, they threaten to move to a "total and indefinite strike".
