Labor calls the ERE proposed by Telefónica for more than 5,000 workers “indecent”
The Ministry of Labor and Social Economy opens a schism in the Government’s position regarding the new employment regulation file (ERE) that Telefónica is negotiating with the workers of seven subsidiaries. As ABC advances and this medium has been able to verify, the department headed by Yolanda Díaz has classified as “indecent” the adjustment proposed by ‘teleco’ in a letter sent to the State Society of Industrial Participations (SEPI), the state vehicle that owns 10% of the company chaired by Marc Murtra.
“Our position is that a profitable and publicly owned company decides to lay off more than 5,000 people is indecent” Labor questions the arguments they have conveyed to Moncloa’s investment arm to express their opposition to the volumes of exits proposed in the first phase of the negotiation. With this movement, the second vice president of the Government thus distances herself from the conciliatory tone that the Executive has maintained until now with the subordination of her support for the file “to being agreed with the unions” as defended weeks ago by the Minister for Digital Transformation and the Public Service, Óscar López.
It is not the first time that Díaz makes moves in the midst of negotiating a Telefónica file. He already did so during the conversations of the previous adjustment when those responsible for the Sumar parliamentary group in Congress conveyed to the union representatives their concern about the scope that the ERE announced by Telefónica could have. Then, the impact was reduced from the 5,124 departures initially proposed to 3,421 casualties.
