Citizens has brought to the attention of the Government Team, the Head of the Personnel Administration and Labor Relations Service, the representatives of the workers and public companies of the City Council of Lorca and the union representatives the situation of "exploitation and Semi-slavery "suffered by the workers of the public company Lorcatur SAU (Lorca Taller del Tiempo).

These workers who have a gross base salary of 820 euros, after applying the corresponding withholdings have a remuneration around the minimum interprofessional salary: 735 euros net, and some of them may even be below this amount, when the Manager of the public company has an annual salary of 57,519 euros.

"From Ciudadanos we can not admit that the public administration keeps these workers in an unfair labor situation, with third-world salaries and with the constant stress of losing their jobs due to the arrogant and arbitrary attitude of the management," says Antonio Meca.

13 of the 17 workers of the public company do not become mileuristas, including among their salaries all the supplements of three years, six years, transportation and even a ridiculous amount of extraordinary compensation that the company would use to ensure that workers do not claim payment of the many extra hours that are compulsorily performed at certain times.

Workers do not claim their labor rights for fear of being dismissed, as both when accessing the company and to be dismissed is a tradition that is done "by finger".

The Councilor for Citizens has asked the staff services of this City Council and union representatives "to study the situation of the employees of this public company and take the initiatives they consider appropriate in defense of the workers."

All these data are the result of a work of more than four months by this Municipal Group to know the operation of this public company that despite the exploitation of its workers maintains an annual deficit of 321,000 euros.

From Ciudadanos once known the reports that are issued on the matter "we will go to all instances that are necessary in defense of the workers of the company, we will demand the appropriate responsibilities and we will make proposals that end with this situation and others that are observed harmful for the municipal institution proposing alternatives of operation "adds the Councilman.
