The unions point to a massive following of the first of the seven days of strike called in the road transport of passengers among the drivers who have not been designated for the provision of minimum services and, therefore, have been able to support it.
The strike, which began at 00:00 this Monday, has been called by CCOO and UGT to request the application of reducing coefficients in the Social Security contributions of professional drivers, allowing them to retire before reaching age. ordinary due to the risk of the activity, as well as voluntary partial retirement.
The general secretary of UGT, Pepe Álvarez, has criticized the CEOE’s refusal to negotiate better working conditions for workers in the passenger transport sector and has asked the central Executive to consider a “reduction coefficient for the retirement age” .
More than 80,000 urban, intercity, school and discretionary bus drivers have been called to the protest, in addition to those of self-propelled cranes, 2,000 of them in Asturies, where the strike has been total.
The mobilization will also extend to November 11, 28 and 29; December 5 and 9; and from the 23rd of that month it could become indefinite, if an agreement is not reached with the business side under the same terms as the one signed with the freight transport employers’ associations last week.
