The initiative also requires compliance with the collective agreement signed between the State Ports and unions.
Veracruz Gonzalez has expressed its "utmost concern" about the labor dispute that generated the Rajoy government within the State Ports, and expected to give Executive responsible for a quick solution to this conflict, since "the port sector is key to the economic recovery of our region and our country. "
In the preamble to the initiative, it is stated that "the main problem is the contradiction between the Ministry of Development, which supports the agreement signed, and the refusal of the Interministerial Commission on Remuneration (CECIR-Ministry of Finance) , effectively leaving the agreements reached and signed, affecting about 5,000 workers from 29 agencies. situation that makes the government invalidated the agreement at the negotiating table of the collective agreement between the Ministry of Development and own major trade unions in the sector, thereby generating a frontal attack on the right to collective bargaining. "
Thus the Socialist Parliamentary Group urges the government "to urgently create a dialogue between the federations of trade unions representing the workers of the State Ports (UGT, CCOO and IGC) and the Ministries of Development, Finance and Administration Public to unlock the agreement signed between the State Ports and the unions. "

The Port of Cartagena is located in the fifth position in freight transport, with a profit in the fourth quarter amounting to more than 20 million euros, "so that profitability is more consolidated, as a producer of wealth and generating employment ".
