Within the framework of the Local Employment Desk that was held this morning at the Local Development Center and to which trade unions, employers, political groups, local government and administration, represented by the Directorate of the Employment and Training Service of the Region of Murcia (SEF), the Spokesman of the Municipal Group of IU-V, Pedro Sosa, has managed to start from the Director of the SEF the commitment to program in Lorca training courses aimed at preparing workers for the meat industry.
Sosa recalled that he has been asking for a long time to train workers in the secondary sector, which has suffered in recent years a very important decline that makes us poorer all and that contrasts with the amount of resources and public policies , not always successful, that has monopolized the primary sector;
a sector that, as is known, brings less added value to the economy and generates a more precarious, unstable and worse paid work.
The overweight of the primary sector and the abandonment of the secondary sector is one of the keys that Lorca appears in some reports as one of the cities with more than 50,000 poorest inhabitants of Spain, so, says Sosa, it is of great interest, After the explosion of the real estate sector, try to redirect the productive model of our municipality.
A model that can not, and should not, be based solely on the increasingly unsustainable extension of irrigation, generating an economy that distributes very little, where a few earn a lot and many earn little, also outsourcing social and environmental problems.
Sosa affirms that the construction of the new slaughterhouse in Lorca is a millionaire bet that we should thank the employers of the sector and that the public administration now has to implement those measures that facilitate its implementation as soon as possible, including the training of workers.
The Director of the SEF of the Region of Murcia has committed to address immediately to the company that builds the slaughterhouse to meet the training needs that have and schedule the courses that are accurate.
