Pedro Sosa, a spokesman for Izquierda Unida Verdes Lorca, expressed his criticism this morning about the violation of the rights of workers to work overtime in urban regeneration works that large companies, such as Ferrovial, are running In our city.
Sosa has been able to verify how the workers who are carrying out the works of the Juan Carlos I Avenue begin their day at eight in the morning and continue working past eight in the afternoon, clearly violating the labor legislation regarding the realization of Overtime, which must only be done in conditions of urgent need.
"These works are necessary, but not urgent" has clarified the mayor, so he has contacted the union CCOO to denounce this illegality before Labor Inspection that puts at risk the health of workers.
In addition, this practice belies what the mayor of Obras, Ms. Ibarra, has been proclaiming to the four winds, that the regeneration works of the municipality would create employment, because with these double days the number of workers is reduced by half To carry them out.
For Sosa, "enough damage has already done the labor reforms of the PSOE and the PP," as to allow large companies to increase their huge profits at the cost of reducing staff, which considerably harms the recovery of the local economy.
For this reason, Sosa has urged Ms. Ibarra and the Mayor to "stop looking the other way" and stop positioning themselves together with the big companies that only think of reducing costs and that favor the recruitment of more staff in the Remodeling works to be carried out.
