At the end of August, 27 veteran workers of the Madrid emergency service, assigned to Summa 112, returned from their summer vacations and found the unpleasant surprise of their cessations in a service in which most of them had been working More than 25 years. “I received a phone call from an administrative of the Human Resources Department to announce that as of September 1 I would no longer go to my job,” says Gabriel, a fictional name of one of those affected who serves as a spokesman for his colleagues to denounce your situation.
The dismissal was ratified a few days later via telematics, through a statement signed by the managing director of Summa 112 in which they were notified as “cause of the leave” the “amortization of the square”. The tip was to know that they were not going to receive a euro of compensation despite carrying a minimum of two decades doing different emergencies.
Summa 112 is the service responsible for all terrestrial and aerial emergency services throughout the area of the Community of Madrid. It was created once the health competences were transferred to the autonomous communities, since previously all emergencies were channeled through 061, dependent on the Ministry of Health. The Community of Madrid then merged this service with the emergency and rescue service of the Community of Madrid (SERCAM) to finally create Summa 112, which depends on the Sermas, whose powers fall on the Ministry of Health of Madrid. The contracts of these workers now fired date from that first era. Both Gabriel and the rest of his ceased colleagues had the status of “statutory interims”, a work figure that theoretically assured them of their jobs until their places were not covered by someone who had approved the opposition, something that, they affirm , in all those years it never happened: “We have been in fraud of law 25 years,” he says.
A few months ago, in March 2024, a public job offer (OPE) was finally convened to cover 515 emergency technicians in the free shift, which were presented 1,944 opponents. In the internal promotion shift, 42 places were offered and 43 applicants were presented, according to union data. But this group of workers now ceased did not attend the offer because, as they insist, everyone already had the authorization of land sanitary transport granted by the Community of Madrid itself and all were emergency and emergency technicians, which enabled them to work on those devices
In fact, when more than two decades ago they signed their contracts, they were enabled to be able to exercise as health emergency technicians first in 061 and then in Summa 112, at the level not only autonomic, but also state, without the need to have either That performing an average degree module that began to demand later to access a place, a module that as they indicated years later it was “recommended” to perform. Some of those former contracted ones did so “for fear, before the evening threats of the different managers that have been in the service,” says Gabriel.
However, he insists that they were “armored, as is accredited in the documents.” “We are all CAM officials, either interim, statutory or fixed, or career officials, there is a very broad and important fan of administrative options,” he adds. “We are living legend of how this service has evolved,” Gabriel continues to report, who has no qualms about adding that they have all been and are “highly qualified personal”: “We attend all kinds of emergencies, we have participated in great accidents, we were In help work after the terrible 11M attack, we played life during the pandemic when there were not even enough masks or vaccines against Covid. We have helped in catastrophes not only within our country, but also, in missions with the Foreign Ministry, we have attended all kinds of emergency, some driving mobile uvis, others in rescue helicopters, in short, each one in their position. Our work has been very important, ”he details.
According to the version of this group of workers, after announcing their cessations, the Ministry of Health did not give them any alternative to relocate them in other departments consistent with their experience. “After 25 years of service and total delivery they throw us without contemplations, they kick us to put ourselves in the street as garbage, knowing that we have all exceeded 50 years, that many have children and that at that age it is very complicated recycled, ”laments Gabriel, who on the other hand also highlights the null support they have received from the unions of the sector that are knowledgeable about the situation.
Health alleges that they were warned of their situation
The Ministry of Health, however, differs from these arguments. Sources of this autonomous agency point to this wording that there for 2015 “the training of health emergency technician, professionals who, in addition to assuming the functions performed by the categories of broadcasters, wardens and drivers, have specific health training” are created, they have a specific health training ” , a “new category of toilets that gives Summa 112 teams a quality plus for patients.”
These same sources are noted that a few years later, in June 2018, there was an agreement of the Health Sector Table for the implementation of the professional category of TES in Summa 112, which “the administration and unions agree to a Gradual process for the integration of this category in 100% of the positions of the existing categories, whose positions are declared to amortize (driver, announcer and warden) ”. “In this agreement, it is established that those positions occupied by interim personnel of the categories to amortize in SUMMA after the resolution of public calls will be amortized”, and “that is why, before the resolution of the selective process of the driver’s category, the Plazas to consolidate by fixed personnel cannot do so in Summa 112, since in this organization it is a category to extinguish ”.
That is why at the end of August “all of the above is reported both to trade union organizations, as well as professionals affected both by telephone and by email,” they argue. And they add that of the 27 professionals ceased by amortization, “a total of 4 had overcome the selective process took possession in other management”; “Another total of 23 did not exceed the selective process, so, as in any selective process, the interim professionals who have not approved do not take place.”
The PSOE denounces the cessations in the Madrid Assembly
The case arrived in mid -October at the Madrid Assembly by the deputy of the PSOE Daniel Rubio who worried about the situation of helplessness in which this thirty health workers has remained. His group requested the appearance of General Director of the Department of Human Resources and Labor Relations of the Madrid Health Service, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez Roila, to give explanations of these fulminating cessations. To Rubio’s questions, the representative of the Government of the Community of Madrid was shielded in the same arguments as the Ministry of Health, that is, that the resolution of the ceases came motivated because their places, “mostly drivers,” ” They were awarded to fixed personnel who have overcome the selective process “which is” where they can perform their functions, not being able to consolidate them in the field of Summa as there is no already category. ” “The cessations are inherent to the selective processes,” said Rubio Roila.
The case is currently in the courts waiting for the judges to decide the fate of those nearly thirty ceased workers of Summa 112, who have filed individual complaints against the Community of Madrid for “inadmissible layoffs” in “law fraud “Because they believe that they had to have been recognized as” fixed labor personnel. ”
“The Ayuso government should have a gesture of humanity with them. Just as public tributes to the toilets during the pandemic and put a plaque on the door of the Sun, these people should be taken into consideration and not throw them out. There are non -covered vacancies. The Ministry of Health has 80,000 employees and 112 about 500 and this is to relocate a small group that does not reach 30 people, ”says socialist deputy Daniel Rubio.
