With 130 votes in favor and 80 against after several hours of discussion, The assembly of the Association of Officials of Casa de Galicia (Afuncag) decided to accept the formula proposed by the Executive Power that contemplates the transfer of officials to other health providers based on the number of affiliates that these institutions are absorbing.
The offer that the government placed on the table implies ensuring job continuity for a large part of the workers. Thus, for every 1,000 members of Casa de Galicia who switch to another mutual, 20 workers will also do so. That way, a little more than 840 civil servants would have their job insurance and the rest, about 460, would go to a job bank and also would have special unemployment insurance.
The passage of partners and workers, as he learned The Observer through assembly participants, it would take place between next January and February. The Executive Power, for its part, assured the payment of the Christmas bonus that is paid in December, which will be effective before January 3. Also, before the end of the year, the corresponding salary.
The Uruguayan Health Federation (FUS), which supported the plan ratified by the assembly, called a 24-hour general strike this Tuesday throughout the sector, in solidarity with the workers of the institution, whose closure was decreed last Wednesday by bankruptcy justice.
