The Inalsa Company Committee could call an indefinite strike, according to the president of the Cabildo, Pedro San Ginés, this Tuesday on Radio Lanzarote. "In a meeting I had with the Committee, they conveyed their concern to me, because after making a personal effort, the bankruptcy administrators are going to try to substantially modify their conditions," San Ginés pointed out.
For his part, the president of the Inalsa Company Committee, Fermín Feo, explained to La Voz that "it is still too early" to talk about a strike, although this Wednesday he will meet with the bankruptcy administrators and it will be at this meeting where it is decided whether or not to adopt this measure.
"If we go on strike, it will be an indefinite strike, but we still don't know. We must wait for the assembly to know what is going to happen," said Fermín Feo. The reasons alleged by the Company Committee to call this strike are, among other things, the report of the bankruptcy administrators, published by La Voz de Lanzarote, in which it was stated that employees worked 270 hours less per year than their agreement sets. This represents, according to the administrators, a decrease of 39,420 hours per year, which they intend to correct by modifying work schedules and timetables.
"This has gone down very badly with us, we do not agree, because it is a lie. There are employees who work 300 hours more. We cannot allow this," said the president of the Inalsa Company Committee.
For his part, San Ginés has assured that he will also hold a meeting with the Company Committee to try to "reach an agreement" that avoids this possible workers' strike. "I promised to listen to them, to try to mediate," he said, while indicating that "the strike would not be desirable."
The Inalsa Company Committee had not yet commented on the report of the bankruptcy administrators, which La Voz made public on August 9, and in which it was stated that employees were far from fulfilling their duty to work 1,576 hours per year, that is, 35 hours per week, as set by their agreement.
None of the workers had come out until now to challenge this information and the attempt by the administrators to change their agreement, something that now seems could lead them to strike. An indefinite strike that some workers, according to La Voz, are not even aware of.
