MADRID, 27 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The unions UGT and CC.OO. They have celebrated the follow-up that the concentrations have had for the consulting agreement in different cities of Spain this Thursday and have anticipated more mobilizations and even a strike in June if they do not see “a real change in attitude” from the employers.

“The mobilizations will continue as long as they do not see a real change in attitude and the possibility of calling a strike for next June is still on the table,” they said in a statement this Friday.

Likewise, the workers’ organizations have celebrated the follow-up that the concentrations in Malaga, Seville, Santander, Barcelona, ??Bilbao, Madrid, Valencia and Oviedo have had, at the same time that they have indicated that they hope that the employers have seen that their templates “are fed up with precariousness”, which they have predicted will be a turning point for the next meeting on May 30.

The Association of Consulting Companies (AEC), employers of the sector, presented a proposal to the negotiating table of the agreement in which it was requested to extend the maximum daily working day to 12 effective hours and to consider Saturdays as ordinary working hours.

The proposal led the unions to publicly denounce the proposals of the AEC, which decided to break off the negotiations, to which the workers’ organizations responded with demonstrations.

The first of them took place on May 12 at the headquarters of the AEC in Madrid and made the employers back down and reconvene the agreement table for next May 30, as explained by the unions.

However, CC.OO. has criticized that the fact that the negotiation was reopened “was only going back to the starting point”, for which both unions decided to continue with the mobilizations “until a change of attitude was observed in the AEC that would allow progress towards a worthy consultancy”.
