Telefónica has announced in London in 2010 after receiving record profits, which dispense 20 percent of its staff in Spain (6,000 workers).
The cut is inserted into a continuous process of elimination of jobs, whose last episode, by far, was the record of employment regulation (ERE) adopted in 2003 by then Labor Minister Eduardo Zaplana, to reduce to five years, until 2008, one third of workforce (15,000 workers) and, in turn, was preceded by another ERE in 1999, affecting 10,849 workers, operated by Juan Villalonga, presidente a la sazón de la compañía y a quien más tarde sucedería el actual, Alierta.
El ajuste de plantilla no sólo se encuadra en el hecho de que Telefónica haya obtenido en 2010 -peor año de la crisis-, unos ingentes beneficios, sino en el anuncio de que va a distribuir 7.300 millones de euros en dividendos y primará a sus directivos con gratificaciones por importe de 450 millones.
Dicen que el ministro de Trabajo mostró su malestar afirmando que no era un buen momento para el recorte. Sería interesante conocer qué momento considera bueno to lay off staff, maybe after the election?
In any case, do not worry because it is very possible that within a few years, when he ceases, with a little luck, Telefónica offered a good position as it did with its predecessor Zaplana, appointed in 2008 Alierta consultant and CEO of the company in Brussels.
Rubalcaba said they disagree with the measure and can not be clearer. I said that more could have been clear if he and the entire government by its decision not to approve a labor reform that encourages decisions like this to allow companies with great benefits can work without any pass an ERE.
The worst part is that you try to justify the labor market reforms and measures necessary to create jobs, when in fact all it does is cheapen the dismissals and, therefore, destroy jobs.
Can you wonder that the crisis has destroyed more jobs in Spain than any other European Union country?
expose a process of outsourcing, which is achieved by many workers providing services in Telefónica without being employees of the company. It is widespread in large companies.
should be aware of this unusual event, how extraordinarily difficult it is for the consumer to contact a worker who has a working relationship with the company with you hire a service. Nor those who attend to give us information, or who do us the contract, or who receive our claims, or operators that install or repair the faults are employees of the company providing the service. They are all external contractors and personnel, in some cases, subcontractors of subcontractors.
are several consequences of this situation. The first, the progressive weakness of labor relations: workers are employed in conditions far worse than the original company, often as fictitious and autonomous variables and minimum salaries.
Secondly, in times of crisis, the dismissal is much easier aun cuando la sociedad esté obteniendo pingues beneficios, ya que la relación laboral es con empresas secundarias, muchas de ellas sin capital y fáciles de cerrar en caso de necesidad. En tercer lugar, y como resultado de las anteriores, la cualificación profesional es mucho peor y la asistencia que reciben los consumidores, por ello, más deficiente.
En Telefónica concurre además otra circunstancia que deja al descubierto la verdadera condición de nuestro sistema económico y político. Telefónica ha sido privatizada y a través de ella se puede conocer en qué ha consistido el proceso de privatizaciones. Se ha producido a perfect symbiosis between political and economic power. The first private hands has given large public companies, in addition to providing services to all citizens, contributing to the Treasury high profits.
has caused and pillaging. Politicians have placed in front of the privatized companies to friends, without further title or merit, and they just mail them in reserve for when they leave public life a leading position or the chair of a council. In this world there are economic enterprise or merit or ability, it comes down to horse trading, the recommendation, influence peddling.
is generated in this way a fictional elite, whose members call themselves specialists, large salaries autopremian with scandal, using the childish excuse that otherwise would brain drain. Worst of all is that they end up believing. Where are you going to escape that they are better? On the other hand, being a captive market higher or lower corporate profits are not related to the management but with the quality of service and the charges that are imposed unfairly.
The only thing privatization have resulted in an increase in unemployment, poorer working conditions, remuneration for executives of scandal-they do not represent anything or anyone except their cronies who have appointed or hired, "a deterioration of public services and helplessness of the consumer as having no power over big business.
The height of impudence is to say, as has been done on purpose Esperanza Aguirre Canal Isabel II that privatization means returning the property to the locals, and the height of stupidity, the Lottery President declaring that if this body is to be privatized, more efficient, which is acknowledging that its management has been a disaster. The outcome should not be privatized but terminat-ing entity.
