The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group, Susana Hernández, said Monday that, with the extension of the contract of the Home Help company about to end (it ends in May), "it is the perfect moment for, in the The new contract to be put out to tender, begin to include social clauses in municipal contracting, as we have been demanding for years. "

"Social clauses help to move towards a more just society, not only for workers who provide public services, but also extends to society in general," said Hernández, who added that "there are social clauses aimed at Disadvantaged groups or in social exclusion, for the promotion of quality employment, of an environmental nature, of combating gender-based violence, of promoting youth participation, etc. "

The mayor of the PSOE has insisted that "a contract that includes social clauses will not only improve the situation and conditions of domestic help workers in our municipality, but also will affect the attention to users."

Hernández has lamented that, "the PP favored the continuity of a defaulting company with the contract with the City of Murcia and with the rights of workers - the most bleeding example is that, today, they owe more than four payrolls - ".

"

The socialist councilor has once again demanded that the Ballesta government take the necessary steps so that Home Help workers can recover their rights and, from here on, prime the welfare of employees and users over favors to companies That they do not fulfill their commitments ".

"We have the opportunity to do things well and to include, in the new specifications - and henceforth throughout the recruitment - the social clauses that favor a home help service based on equality of opportunities and in the Quality, "he concluded.
