Following the decision of the governing board of the UNED Center of Cartagena, which on Monday agreed to a series of measures to reduce current expenditure and ensure sustainability of the UNED Associated Center in Cartagena, CCOO show their disagreement with the only as it launches an urgent is the dismissal of seven of its workers (2 interim and fixed 5 came in opposition), bypassing and circumventing all labor laws applicable to the case.
The Governing Board was chaired, on behalf of President Valcarcel, by the Minister of Universities José Ballesta and also forms part of the mayor of Cartagena and Pilar Barreiro banks Caja Murcia and CAM, as well as the Associate Center Director and Vice-Chancellor Associate Centres UNED.
CCOO asked to participate in the meeting of the Governing Board of the union representative of workers, as they were to be labor issues, but the Director of the Center refused to allow the presence of the steward.
The decision to base the 7 layoffs in financial difficulties resulting from default by the regional government of the amounts budgeted and committed, there is a flagrant violation of labor laws.
First objective economic difficulties the company (public, to make matters worse) should have handled a record of employment regulation (ERE) that could be negotiated by the workers through trade union representation and the resolution of which ultimately would depend on the authority work.
CCOO complaint that the Governing Board has decided to pull on the middle path 7 firing workers arbitrarily selected, which has forced vacation and sent unsolicited to 16 Friday morning, when it expected the layoffs will be communicated in writing and changing the locks on units and offices.
CCOO has this morning requested an urgent meeting with the Associate Director of the Cartagena UNED, with the aim of opening a dialogue and negotiation to consider appropriate measures to take, and in no case may have as its first objective the notice of dismissal of workers in the center.
CCOO has also requested the Minister of Universities, José Ballesta, and the Mayor of Cartagena, Pilar Barreiro, to mediate the conflict and prevent the UNED Associated Center in Cartagena proceed to dismiss workers without having a process of reflection and negotiation with the representation of workers.
