Pedro Sosa, Councilman IU-Greens in the city of Lorca, has given a press conference to denounce the employment status of the workers of the former concessionaire of urban public transport Lorca, whose management is now local.
According to Sosa, the City Council took urban transport service following an agreement with the company in which the transport councilor, Juan Miguel Bayonas, guaranteed maintenance staff;
But two months after this agreement, five workers have received the letter of dismissal.
The mayor left feels that it is not subrogated to the former shareholders businessmen from the former company, be partly responsible for their poor performance, but that can not be tolerated as other workers, such as drivers, administrative or cleaners, are dismiss them or put at risk their jobs.
Sosa has reprimanded the government team which for two months has had these five employees, charging a payroll by the City without having been assigned any task, which he considers a blatant case of harassment toward them and a disservice to the municipal coffers .
Sosa also very suspicious that buses which are available now, are not municipally owned, but belong to the company of Antonio Muñoz, so he believes the specifications for the new transport service, you are adjusting to this company remain with the service and it is she who has ordered the "cleaning" of these workers.
Therefore, Sosa has warned the mayor of Transport not to follow the example of his companion corporation, Ms. Ibarra, a few years ago ordered the dismissal of an employee of the Department of Women, which cost Lorca the payment of a compensation to the employee for unfair dismissal, to be more responsible and to assume effectively challenge a public and effective and otherwise urban transport, which go thinking of leaving the service.
