Elma Saiz shares with Madò Farta the progress on the early retirement of chambermaids

PalmaThe Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Elma Saiz, shared this Monday with the activist known as Madò Farta the progress on the early retirement of chambermaids. It took place before an event of the minister in Palma, organized by the PSIB with representatives of the CCOO and UGT unions and about pensions, at which time the activist came to the doors of the CCOO headquarters.

Elma Saiz attended the meeting with Madò Farta, who was carrying a sign demanding early retirement for the 'kellys' (chambermaids), and explained to the activist the announcement made this morning, according to which the government of Spain will study the physical wear and tear of chambermaids so that they can retire early, and the inclusion of illnesses associated with this group.

The minister explained that this will be the first assignment to be received by the recently created interministerial working group for the study of the gender dimension and arduousness in early retirement, which incorporates the gender perspective to analyze activities that fundamentally affect sectors where there is a significant presence of women, such as the 'kellys'.

"The first assignment this working group will have is to directly analyze the gender impact and illnesses in view of these reducing coefficients in case they are applicable to chambermaids," she explained.

The minister also announced that on Tuesday the urgent processing, approved last week by the Council of Ministers, will be open for public exhibition to incorporate the illnesses of chambermaids into the list of occupational diseases.

When the processing is finished, she explained, illnesses affecting the wrist, elbow, and forearm, which are directly related to their day-to-day activity, will be incorporated into the list of occupational diseases. Also before entering the auditorium, representatives of the 0-3 Network handed the minister a badge and also shared their demands.
