At a meeting of the Technical Committee and working group PAS imposing the longer opening hours to 37.5 hours and a reduction of trade union rights can only be intended to cripple the unions in defending workers' rights.

By the unions signatory to this paper, the Royal Decree Law 20/2011 of December 30 is not directly applicable to the University of Murcia and its application violates university autonomy.
The path of deficit reduction by the elimination of jobs is the wrong path you can leave an indelible mark on the regional economy.
According to calculations those trade unions, the application of 37.5 hours can be a job loss of hundreds of jobs if you consider all the interim contracts, changes in full-time contract, hired by the project, the possible effect between the PDI Work full time and part-self and dependents at 100% of its activity at the University of Murcia.
Moreover, this measure could result in the removal of very significant wage supplements affect a quarter of the staff of PAS, which could lose up to 25% of their salary.
The package, administered with half truths and impositions by the current rector of the University of Murcia over recent months have caused much concern among all workers and raise fears that the commitments made recently, especially with regard to the PDI Autonomous Complement, but not worthless.
For the unions signatory to this paper is no accident that this set of measures, severe labor and social terms, are accompanied by a proposed suppression of trade union rights at the University of Murcia.
In the next Governing Council at UM, is being moved for approval a document entitled "AGREEMENT FOR SUSPENSION OF UNION AGREEMENTS INVOLVING UNION GREATER NUMBER OF HOURS THAT ESTABLISHED BY LAW".
Faced with this imposition, the unions signatory to this paper have presented a counter according to the current economic situation, resulting in the resignation of the free disposal of 90% of the hours available by law union face of this proposal, economically reasonable and reinforcing the internal organization of OOSS, the rector prefer to limit the free use of the hours and suspends the current agreements, throwing to the streets to temporary and interim covering their positions.
In short, the unions signatory to this letter wish to appeal to the university community to exercise its autonomy and has demonstrated the ability of social, intellectual and politically, to present alternatives to this model to overcome the crisis based on loss of employment and social rights.
