The Personnel Board of the Alicante Firefighters Consortium regrets the “impossibility” of reaching an agreement with the president of the Provincial Council to resolve the workers’ demands. Therefore, a demonstration is scheduled today outside Benidorm City Hall.
On Friday, April 25th, representatives of the Personnel Board convened for nearly seven hours with the president of the Alicante Provincial Council, Toni Pérez, and the president-delegate of the provincial consortium to resolve the “conflict” that has persisted for the past month.
“The Administration’s statement, which downplayed and even denied the incidents that have been occurring in the fire stations since the conflict began, which represent a significant deterioration in the provision of the service we provide and our safety, was considered serious enough to warrant negotiations for its resolution.” Consequently, we extended an offer to continue negotiations, even over the weekend, according to the Board.
They stated in a statement that “the response was that they needed to conduct both a legal and economic study in order to be able to translate into an agreement that they could commit to signing and complying with” after several recesses and the simplification of the proposal from the social party presented on April 15th.
“Finally, they requested that we respond to this potential agreement by the end of the week on Wednesday, April 30th.”
Although the Presidency expressed its commitment to resolving the conflict and was willing to reconcile positions and “continue negotiating for as long as necessary,” the Staff Board comprehends that “any possibility of an agreement was postponed pending this future meeting.”
Consequently, “we will persist with the measures that the General Assembly has approved, as it has been impossible to reach any form of agreement,” following the evaluation of this meeting and the anticipation of this counterproposal.
Consequently, the staff has been notified of the rally that will occur outside Benidorm City Hall today in conjunction with the plenary session.
