Lanzarote en Pie - Sí Podemos achieved this Friday in the plenary session the commitment to improve the labor situation in the CACT. According to the formation, "the labor conflict in the tourist centers remains unresolved and continues to condemn dozens of workers of the public company that manages the island's tourist centers to uncertainty and temporality. Until now, the good intentions and commitment of the new government group of the Cabildo de Lanzarote (formed by PSOE - PP) have not materialized in any way, quite the opposite".

According to the motion presented by Lanzarote en Pie - Sí Podemos, and which was defended in plenary session by Councilor Myriam Barros, the CACT works council had recently denounced the transfer of personal information from the substitution list to a temporary employment company. "This is something we cannot allow in any way, you cannot want to end temporality and at the same time promote it with this practice", declares the councilor.

Barros argued that "this formal complaint sent by the body that represents the staff of the tourist centers literally demands to stop the transfer of private information from this company to another temporary employment company." It refers to "a substitution pool prepared by the CACT, which is being provided to the temporary employment company Activa Canarias, so that it selects the workers demanded by the CACT".

The initiative presented by Lanzarote en Pie - Sí Podemos and approved unanimously by the plenary of the corporation, includes "the commitment to end temporary hiring through private temporary employment companies once the current contract for the provision of these services ends and, in addition, to make an individual assessment of the situation of people currently hired through this system in order to give them a fair solution. Therefore, there would be no more extensions or new contracts of this type with any temporary employment company except for exceptional cases such as large events, as agreed by the plenary of the first island institution".

With this motion, the confluence hopes "that the working conditions that the previous presidency of Pedro San Ginés (CC) promoted, supported by PSOE and PP, will be improved." "Defending the labor dignity of the island's workers is one of our main commitments and the Cabildo must start by setting an example by ending unjustified temporality", concluded Myriam Barros.
