UNION CLAIMS THE NEW LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM WILL COST 11,000 JOBS IN MALAGA PROVINCE

The CCOO union has claimed that the local government reform plan will cost 11,000 pubic service jobs in Malaga province. The CCOO spokesperson in Malaga Carolina Ortiz said that the central government's reform plan is an attempt to carry out wholesale privatisation of public services. She said that workers rights will disappear, including collective bargaining and compensation rights and many public service workers will be transferred to other workplaces. The union says that the planned reform will lead to the destruction of half of the public service jobs in Malaga province.
