In a letter sent to the mayor, Hernandez insists that "you can not organize a service that is emergency taking the staff to exhaustion"

The Municipal Socialist Group has denounced today in a press conference that the PP government team "exploits the Murcia firefighters labor" by subjecting the troops to "intense and long working hours that will force them, as an example, only this week to perform about 85 hours ", as explained by the spokesperson, Susana Hernandez, with councilman Juan Vicente Larrosa.

Also, this template, which has not made any new incorporation since 2005, and only in three years there has been a decline of 29 firefighters, including retirements and promotions, is working with extra hours since the CRJ (125 hours annual as a complement to the day's work) have been exhausted in the month of April, Larrosa said.

"To top it off, the extra hours that worked in November and December last year still do not charge," said Hernandez, who added that "it is inhumane that the PP oblige firefighters to these days that entails that they can not enjoy their leisure time or their families ", for what has highlighted" the great responsibility of the troops, against the lack of foresight and capacity of the government team ".

In this regard, Hernandez has assured that there are already members who have waived overtime, but still appear on the form, and has said that "you can not organize a service that is emergency leading staff to exhaustion," according to the written that today has sent him to the mayor Ballesta.

Meanwhile, Larrosa stressed that the intense day and the extra hours would have been replaced by the addition of new troops, scheduled for the summer of 2016. "We are in 2018 and the opposition is paralyzed in a court, so we do not know when there will be new firefighters "and, in addition, he recalled that the measure of age of these is increasing, since it is around 55 years.

Similarly, the council has specified that in 2017, more than 650,000 euros were paid from the contingency fund for overtime, although they are still owed in November and December, "which is nothing more than a lack of foresight and programming by part of the PP ".

In this regard, Hernandez has stated that "the government team can not shield themselves from service needs when the number of extra hours is actually motivated by their neglect" and pointed out that there are court rulings that warn that overtime is not overtime. can schedule

Therefore, the socialist spokeswoman has announced in the letter to the mayor that, apart from the 30 places planned and paralyzed at the moment, it is "essential and urgent to complete the municipal employment offer 2018 with at least another 25 or 30 more firefighters, because with those that will be incorporated once the dispute is resolved will be below the 2005 template ".
