The union conveys to the delegate of the Andalusian Government in Huelva its priorities for the province: stable employment, more resources in public services, and the fulfilment of commitments such as the Materno-Infantil Hospital.
The Secretary General of CCOO Huelva, Julia Perea, along with other union leaders, met this Tuesday with the delegate of the Junta de Andalucía in Huelva, Berta Centeno, to outline the main priorities of the organisation in the province, as reported by Huelva Información.
Also participating in the meeting were the head of Women and Equality and Occupational Health, Rosario Díaz; the head of Migration and Institutional Policy, Eugenio García; and the Secretary General of the Provincial Union of the Federation of Services to the Citizenry of CCOO Huelva, Marisol Tortosa.
Regarding employment, CCOO demanded that active policies be directed towards groups with the most difficulty accessing the labour market, especially women, who represent around 60% of unemployed people in the province. It also called for combating seasonality and temporality to move towards a productive model that generates stable and quality employment.
Concerning public services, the union insisted on strengthening staff and improving resources in health and education, as well as reiterating the need to fulfil commitments in early care and the establishment of the Materno-Infantil Hospital of Huelva.
In education, CCOO advocated for reducing ratios by taking advantage of the decline in birth rates, as well as reinforcing resources for students with special educational needs. It expressed concern about the situation at CEIP Padre Jesús de Ayamonte, where there are 54 students in two classrooms in second grade, with a significant number of students having educational needs.
For her part, Marisol Tortosa addressed issues affecting public employees of the Junta, such as the signing of the pre-agreement for the VII Collective Agreement for labour personnel and the situation of certain groups. She also raised problems related to the agreement on productivity in Justice and with the new judicial organisation through the courts of first instance.
Regarding Local Administration, Tortosa emphasised the situation of the City Council of Huelva, specifically in the processes of converting labour personnel to civil service and those concerning interim officials. She explained that the delegate showed interest in these matters and maintained a "dialoguing attitude" during the meeting.
Another issue discussed was the eradication of shantytowns. CCOO requested the implementation of the Plan for the Eradication of shantytowns. "Migrants live and work in our province and contribute with their efforts to the development of our economy. We cannot normalise their living in undignified conditions," Perea argued.
In terms of equality and gender-based violence, the union expressed its rejection of the management of assessment centres for women victims of gender-based violence being linked to Vox, as this is a fundamental area for assessing violence situations and adopting protection measures.
Finally, CCOO Huelva expressed its willingness to continue promoting social dialogue and reaching agreements that improve the living and working conditions of the people of Huelva, and positively assessed this first meeting with the delegate of the Andalusian Government in the province.
