Human Resources announces the “imminent” negotiation of a new agreement for the Córdoba City CouncilARCHIVE / CÓRDOBA
The Delegation of Human Resources and Occupational Health of the Córdoba City Council has sent a letter to municipal employees to announce the initiation of collective bargaining for the sake of signing a new agreement or collective agreement that will regulate the working conditions of official and labor personnel, respectively. It should be remembered that the single agreement that currently governs the working conditions of municipal staff is reported for having exceeded its validity period.
In the letter sent by the delegate Cintia Bustos to the employees, it is also reported that to legally determine the conditions of the negotiation, the delegation requested a report from the head of the support body for the local government board that would determine What text or texts should regulate working conditions of municipal employees, taking into account that the City Council is made up of civil servants and labor personnel, and Which would be the legitimized negotiating body for the negotiation.
The Human Resources delegate, Cintia Bustos, speaks with Miguel Ángel Torrico on the bench of the PP municipal group, during a plenary session.
What the report says
According to the aforementioned report, collective bargaining is structured as follows: a general negotiation table for civil servants and labor of the Córdoba City Council for the negotiation of all matters and working conditions common to civil servant, statutory and labor personnel; a negotiation table of officials from the Córdoba City Council for the negotiation of matters related to common working conditions for officials of the Córdoba City Council; and a negotiating committee for the collective agreement for negotiation matters and working conditions of public employees of the Córdoba City Council that do not impact public officials.
Likewise, the head of the support body of the local government board says that the content of both texts will be similar in those matters that are common to civil servants and labor personnel, although it is specified that “there is no single text that can regulate the working conditions of municipal public employees as there are public employees who have the status of civil servants and other public employees who have the status of labor personnel.”
This is why the collective bargaining of personnel at the service of public administrations is translated, according to this report, into three different texts: the collective agreement of exclusive application to labor personnel since it regulates the specific working conditions of labor personnel and, therefore, does not impact civil servants; pacts or agreements for civil servants that regulate the specific working conditions of civil servants, and in pacts or agreements that regulate the working conditions common to civil servants and labor personnel of each public administration.
Conclusion of the report
In the letter, the Human Resources delegate informs employees that the municipal government understands that the collective bargaining process is “an essential instrument through which union sections and representatives of the administration agree, negotiate and agree on improvements.” of working conditions that benefit all municipal employees on equal terms”. In that sense, Bustos points out, collective bargaining will be subject to the principles of legality, budgetary coverage, obligation, good business faith, publicity and transparency, so “imminentlyconsistent with the report, We will proceed to start the negotiation process by means of the convocation of the general negotiation table, the general table of officials and the negotiating commission for the collective agreement of labor personnel”.
