On Tuesday 22 we met again with the company as part of the consultation period in which we find by the ERE-time reduction that, as you know, the company filed last February 8.
In recent weeks, the works council has held meetings with the management of the Company, of which I have informed through press releases, publication of minutes of meetings and assemblies and meetings with workers and members in different workplaces.
To make a summary of what has been happening so far, the company initially reported some months ago for economic reasons, could not take the pay scales for 2010 agreed in the Convention . And also there is a need to take some other "management" to enable them to also reduce costs while allowing them to make some organizational adjustment, and finally came to fruition with the introduction of shorter working hours record mentioned.
We can not forget in this context, what happened in 2009, where in a similar situation the company was to get workers and representatives from the "sword and the wall" with a record of regulation very important job in the initial number of affected, which ultimately fell through which workers take responsibility to freeze the salary for that year.
Well, in this scenario in which as you know, there has been a lot of pressure, anxiety and some other "threat" of redundancies or record of extinction, if not accept the two issues and above (tables and ERE-time reduction), we months working to find alternatives to raising the company.
As you know, we have defended as a right tables managed in partnership, and we will not give them up even if it takes us longer than expected, but given also that if you have to be, in return ask the company to commit itself to maintain employment during the same period that would last the postponement of the tables in 2010.
In the meeting of 22 the company confirmed its willingness to take the Committee's proposal Intercentros, always in the context of reduced working hours record, and apply 50% of the table, 2010 the year 2011 and another 50% next year 2012, but made a few minor (see minutes) than those supplied, bonuses and allowances, which they would also be affected. It is "another twist, when it seems that we find a formula for understanding the company brought out a new obstacle.
Here CCOO inform you that would be willing to work towards a possible agreement on the basis of two assumptions that are maximum consolidation of the tables in 2010 and maintaining stable employment, , from:
- That the company will increase wages by 50% in 2011 and 50% in 2012 value that would result Application of the tables in 2010, without detriment to the remaining tax and payroll slips planned for 2011 such as bonuses, allowances and seniority.
- That during those two years, in periods of 6 months to conduct an audit of account management and business results ( with union participation) to determine if any maintenance or revision of the percentage set 50/50.
- a commitment to subscribe for the two-year guarantee on job security, so that no records will be undertaken extinction and firing individual goals (also should assess the improper).
There are other claims as social measures to be considered in due course, but also could be studied for inclusion in the framework of the agreement, provided it does not involve waive the previous maximum
