The Municipal Group MC Cartagena will present a motion during the next Plenary to request the support of the rest of the political formations in order to support the claims of the workers of the maintenance service of the General University Hospital Santa Lucía regarding the inclusion of the subrogation of the personnel in the new Collective Agreement of Metal, to which they are attached.

In this way, after the dismissal of the employees of the aforementioned Morales Meseguer service, by the winning company, the rest of the workers who depend on these external contracts of the SMS (Murciano Health Service) have decided to mobilize to demand their labor rights in search of a stability that they deserve and of an adequate quality in this service, fundamental so that the health centers can provide a dignified assistance.

Only SMS outsourced service

In this sense, the councilman of MC, Ricardo Segado, has indicated that this situation becomes even more unfair "as it is the only service outsourced by the SMS without establishing the subrogation of staff." This supposes a greater instability than, for example, the security personnel or the person in charge of the different cafeterias and catering ".

The maintenance service has, only in the case of Santa Lucia, with some thirty employees "who work in vilo and under a constant concern about their future", has assessed the mayor, who added that "his training and experience It is essential in a hospital like Cartagena, with modern and automated systems that require constant attention. "

For all this, the mayor of Cartagena stressed that "from MC we can not allow precarious work among those who ensure that the operating rooms always have light or consultations and areas of beds are at an optimum temperature."

Negotiation of the new Collective Agreement for Metalworkers

The new Collective Agreement for Metalworkers, under which the maintenance service employees are located, is currently under negotiation by the different unions involved.

Thus, according to Ricardo Segado, the inclusion of a clause that allows the subrogation in the contracts depending on the different administrations or public entities "would be the key to be able to match this service to the rest".

Finally, the councilor recalled that the workers of the two hospitals in the region of Cartagena, Santa Lucia and Los Arcos, located in San Javier, have decided to concentrate every Friday to demand the inclusion of subrogation in the modification of the Convention.

"They will have all the support and strength that MC can do, both face-to-face, supporting their concentrations, and through this type of initiative in the municipal Plenary," he concluded.
