Hostelry
sector not
ruling out
industrial
action
Palma.The holiday season officially got under way
on 1 May but the hostelry
sector is still unable to reach
an agreement with management over the new employment contracts.
The two sides met again
yesterday but according to
the representative for the
CCOO workers commission, Gines Diez, it was all
much of the same.
We failed to make any
head way, talks remain
stalled and we are going to
start taking a tougher
stance which will involve
protect action and perhaps
strike action if a satisfactory
deal can not be reached.
Diez said that during the
Councils
still
running up
massive
debts
Palma.Balearic Councils are failing to hit their deficit targets and therefore making it increasingly difficult for the
Balearic Government to reduce its deficit.
Figures released yesterday by the tax office, revealed that
on 31 December last year, the regions councils were 861,49
million euros in debt - nearly two percent more than on
the same day in 2012.
The government was expecting to have seen a reduction
considering all councils have been ordered to slash their
public spending to help the region out of recession - but
they have clearly failed. Palma Council ran up the largest
debt, 376,92 million euros, 12 percent higher than the previous year.
The positive news, however, is that the Council of Minorca managed to reduce its debt by 18 percent to 32.18
million euros but the Council of Ibizas debt rose by 30 percent to 31-43 million euros.
But, the Council of Majorca managed to cut its debt by
four percent to 194,96 million euros.
