The Calvià Town Hall has expressed its discontent over the strike called by a group of lifeguards for this Sunday, a day that coincides with one of the busiest weekends at the municipality's beaches. The local administration reminds that meetings were held in previous weeks with some lifeguards who provide their services at the beaches.
During these meetings, the Government team conveyed to the attending workers their commitment to study and address the improvements proposed in the Occupational Risk report prepared by the company responsible for the service. Many of these proposals are recommendations that will help strengthen safety and improve working conditions, including enhancements to the watchtowers and lifeguard posts, which represents a considerable effort for the municipal coffers.
Commitment to improvements
The Deputy Mayor for Security, Esperanza Catalá, emphasized that “our commitment has been clear: to work to implement these improvements and to recognise the important work that lifeguards perform every day.”
For her part, the Deputy Mayor for the Coast, Elisa Monserrat, expressed her discontent with the attitude of certain lifeguards who were at the meeting, stating that “the decisions of this Government team are not made under pressure or threats of mobilisations. They are made because we understand that certain demands are reasonable and benefit everyone.”
Meetings and labour demands
The Calvià Town Hall has reminded that these meetings are held with the intention of addressing the workers' concerns, as demonstrated by the Mayor, Juan Antonio Amengual. However, it is clarified that the lifeguards who participated in the discussions are not part of the Works Committee of the service contractor. Furthermore, it is emphasised that issues related to salary improvements must be discussed with the company contracted to manage the lifeguard services.
