The workers of the company Valoriza, concessionaire of the street cleaning service in the municipality of Santa Eulària, have agreed in assembly to start an indefinite strike from next November 22. The decision, supported by the union Comisiones Obreras (CCOO), is due to what they describe as an unsustainable situation marked by continuous labor problems and deficiencies in the service.
The conflict is framed in a context of tensions between the City Council of Santa Eulària and the concessionaire company. In August, the consistory announced the opening of a sanctioning file against Valoriza for the breaches detected during the first six months of management of the waste collection, street cleaning and beach cleaning services.
The secretary of Union Action of CCOO, Ana Lopez, explained to Radio Ibiza that since the beginning of the new contract there have been accumulating incidents that directly affect the 63 workers on the payroll. Among them, she cited repeated errors in the payroll, the non-payment of a salary due in October and the poor state of the fleet of vehicles, since not all the new trucks foreseen in the contract have been incorporated.
The union representative stressed that this is not a “strategic” strike, but a necessary measure of pressure to open a real process of dialogue and negotiation with the company. The objective, she added, is to guarantee adequate working conditions and that workers receive their salaries in full and correctly.
