Unions set to mobilise across social security

Spain

The FeSP-UGT and FSC-CCOO public service federations are set to mobilise their members working in social security in protest at the ministry’s failure to address longstanding problems in the department. The unions argue that the ministry is hiding behind the Treasury in claiming that it doesn’t have the funds to address a range of issues including a commitment to improve working conditions. The federations also have major concerns about management of the department and oppose the decision to recruit a large number of interns which the unions argue will not address the need for additional, permanent trained staff in order to address the delays in dealing with social security claims.
