Son Reus workers maintain indefinite strike to denounce serious labor conditions

PalmaThe workers of the Son Reus kennels, in Palma, are maintaining the indefinite strike started this Monday to demand labor improvements and denounce the situation of "serious labor precariousness and insecurity" that, according to UGT, the staff is suffering.

The mobilization continued this Tuesday without, for the moment, either the company or the Palma City Council having contacted the workers to try to unblock the conflict. According to the union, promoter of the strike, the staff has not received "any news" since the start of the stoppage and hopes that the situation can change throughout this week.

UGT assures that the follow-up of the strike is 100% and that currently only the established minimum services are being met. The union has warned that these minimum services are affecting some of the tasks carried out by volunteer associations that are responsible, among other things, for walking the dogs at the facility.

UGT denounces months of precariousness

The union assures that for months it has been denouncing the conditions in which the Son Reus staff works, both in terms of salaries and occupational risk prevention and safety.

"For months we have been denouncing precariousness in all its aspects, salaries, in terms of occupational risk prevention, and absolutely no one has done or solved anything," UGT has denounced. The workers thus demand an improvement in their working conditions and measures that allow an end to a situation they consider unsustainable.

No agreement at TAMIB

The parties tried to reach an agreement last week in a meeting held at the Arbitration and Mediation Court of the Balearic Islands (TAMIB), but the meeting ended without an agreement. For the moment, no new meeting is scheduled to resume negotiations. The staff thus maintains the indefinite strike waiting for the company and Cort to make a move and open a new dialogue with the workers.
