The transport employers’ association, represented in the National Road Transport Committee (CNTC), and the CCOO, UGT and SLT unions will meet this Thursday to discuss the early retirement for the sector and avoid a strike which will begin on October 28 and will include seven days of strike before becoming indefinite.
The meeting will take place this Thursday, October 24, at the headquarters of Interconfederal Mediation and Arbitration Service (SIMA)a public mediation body supervised by the Ministry of Labor and Social Economy, as reported by Europa Press.
Unions demand recognition from employers of the immediate difficulties and dangers of the profession application by law of reducing coefficients to the retirement age for professional drivers.
Likewise, they ask that it be taken into consideration agreement a partial retirement with a replacement contract, voluntary for the driver who will be able to continuously accumulate the percentage he is entitled to in order to work and in his place among a young person.
Last Monday’s meeting ended with the call for a strike for the medical transport group (ambulances)as an agreement has been reached with employers on the retirement age.
The CNTC has already transferred its people availability for dialogue with social agents, and with the administration itself the parameters according to which it is possible to request early retirement.
However, this body made up of the country’s main companies, including self-employed workers to whom this early retirement would apply, recalls that the social contributions incurred by transport companies “are already the highest in Europe”, in reference to the greater expenses in the form of contributions which would mean lowering the retirement age.
If no agreement is reached, the first day of the strike will take place on October 28, followed by November 11, 28 and 29; On 5 and 9 December and, starting from the 23rd of the same month, the strike will be indefinite.
