The general secretary of UGT in Lanzarote, César Reyes, announced this Thursday on Radio Lanzarote that the workers of the Zonzamas Environmental Complex have already started to receive part of the December Christmas bonus that the Cabildo owed them. However, the full payment has not been made and only this amount has been paid to "some workers", so the employees are maintaining the strike call that they had planned for January 7, the day after the Three Wise Men, when a lot of garbage accumulates in the streets.
"At this moment the strike call is still in force, given that until this moment the total payment of the debt that the Cabildo has with the workers has not been made. Throughout the afternoon and evening of this Wednesday, some workers have received part of the outstanding debt. Until the full amount is paid, the strike will not be suspended," César Reyes has reported.
In this same sense, the general secretary of UGT in Lanzarote has criticized that the Works Council of the Zonzamas workers has not had any knowledge about the payment of part of the Christmas bonus, since "no one has communicated it to them".
"We do not know if the Cabildo is going to pay more money to the workers, if it is going to pay them their full bonus. We hope that it will pay the amounts it owes so that we do not have to go on strike," Reyes insisted.
On the other hand, he has also spoken about the complaints that the workers have filed with the Labor Inspectorate. "When it is resolved, the things denounced will have to be improved. We are waiting for reports and we hope that it will be resolved during the first half of January," César Reyes indicated.
