"All this, provided that the public manager has the healthy will to correctly apply the document and efficiently manage the resources of the Administration."
The press release adds that the union representation has requested on several occasions and in writing to the mayor of Teguise and the Councilor for Personnel to immediately revoke all hiring carried out against current legislation, "and should proceed in matters of labor contracting through selection procedures in accordance with the criteria of Publicity, Capacity, Merit, and Equality."
In addition, public employees have requested the designation and convocation of the General Negotiation Table, "in order to redirect the current situation."
