The 16-day heat wave that ended this week has set off alarm bells for unions. "People can't be risking their lives at work," warns Tino Davia, Secretary of Occupational Health and Environment for the UGT Public Services. He warns of a lack of awareness among employers and public institutions that the extreme temperatures of recent years threaten workers' health. "Between climate change deniers and those who believe buildings are not adapted because they were designed for another era, we have a serious problem," he insists.

Workers at companies subcontracted by Aena to provide logistics and operational services to aircraft, airlines, and passengers at Son Sant Joan Airport threatened this Friday to cause a "total collapse" in August due to the "precariousness of the sector" and the conditions in which they are forced to work. Balearic Islands Minister José Negreira warned that "if the government and Aena do not contact the workers within a week," he announced that they will bring out a hundred cars they have already prepared and begin circling the roundabout with the goal of ensuring that "no one gets through." handling They protested at the airport over the contracts with companies paid by Aena. "They give them 10-hour contracts, and as the season progresses, they increase them and they add a lot of overtime," explained José García, secretary of the Federation of Services, Mobility and Transport of the UGT (General Workers' Union), . "They treat the permanent, discontinuous workers as if they were temporary staff," the workers denounced. "We want them to hire staff and provide us with 100% of the minimum services," Negreira insisted.
