The provincial secretaries and deputy director of the National Social Security Institute (INSS), about 200 public employees, will intensify the protests initiated on March 10 – and that this Thursday has celebrated the fourth day – with Calls of indefinite strikes from April 1 for three days a week. Calls denounce in a statement the lack of response from the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and migrations to what they define as a “situation of collapse of the management of this body.”
In the note they detail that during the last weeks of partial strikes, have had a massive monitoringwith 88% of the provinces supporting the strikes, and a total participation of 64%. In addition, in the main provinces of the country (Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Malaga, Alicante, Zaragoza, Asturias and Murcia) the strike monitoring has been more than 90%.
“Given the lack of response of those responsible for the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and migrations to the Situation of collapse of the management of this organism That these managers have been denouncing, the protests are intensified with calls for indefinite stoppages from April 1 for three days a week, “they point out. With these stoppages, the territorial managers of the INSS demand” structural solutions “to reverse the situation of” chaos of a managing entity that with a structure of the last century and with aging and memed templates Social protection of the 21st century. “
Paralyte in benefit management
“Where is coinciding with the day and time of the strikes, they are seeing paralyzed the executive commissions of the INSS, By the absence of their secretary, as well as the monitoring commissions of the temporary disability agreement, the contracting tables and the Occupational Health and Safety Committees where these provincial managers attend, “they add.
Thus, the strike called has meant the Regular activity suspension of medical courts (disabilities assessment teams) in many provinces, where most of these managers are their presidents. Specifically, in these four days of strike more than 6,000 files of work disability have been affected by this circumstance, according to the statement.
In this sense, they denounce that they exist More than 90,000 permanent disability files pending qualification. Likewise, they reproach that almost 50,000 workers “enormous” the maximum legal period of 545 days for labor casualties, with an increase of 30% and 10,000 workers in the last year.
“The consequences for companies and mutual and in general for the entire social security system are nefarious, With workers without a pronouncement on their work medical situation, who move away from their companies or businesses, with a generation of false expectations of benefits and disconnection of the work world and difficulties for their reintegration, “they reiterate.
On the other hand, they warn that the creation of the new provision of the minimum vital income (IMV) in 2020 has had to be assumed by some management units that “They were not prepared or trained and that lacked human and material resources” to manage an “avalanche of three and a half million files.”
“Four years later, such an important benefit for families is practically exclusively managed by interim officials, with tens of thousands of unresolved files and with continuous changes in criteria of the access requirements that have generated legal insecurity with thousands of claims and debts to these families in situations of vulnerability, “says the statement.
Therefore, the Citizen Attention Offices of Social Security are “overwhelmed.” “The creation of new benefits such as IMV, the lack of control of labor disabilities, the increase in retirement requests for regulatory changes and the arrival at the legal age of the generation of the generation Baby Boomthe dilation of processing times, the increase in claims and reviews It is collapsing the INSS offices with difficulties to obtain prior appointment and Increased conflict and significantly worsening working conditions, “they say.
