The socialist spokesperson says that "with the management of this service we have reached such a point of incompetence that it does not stand up, and we still do not understand what the mayor and the councilor responsible for, although talking about responsibility here is nonsense"

The Municipal Socialist Group has already denounced numerous times the precarious situation in which the personnel of the Fire and Rescue Extinction Service of Murcia work, a very depleted body with significant staff shortages.

However, "far from the mayor Ballesta and the councilors Lola Sánchez (Security) and Pepe Guillén (Personal) solve this serious problem or try not to go further, we find that it is increasing, since the latter is a message asking firefighters who are on vacation to join their position. "

According to the socialist spokesperson, Susana Hernández, this situation, "which is aggravated at times, is closer to the exploitation of labor than to provide decent conditions or, at least, adjusted to law," which is why she said that "with the management of this service we have reached such a point of incompetence that it is not sustained and we still do not understand what the mayor Ballesta and the responsible councilors are dedicated to, although to speak of responsibility in this case is nonsense ".

Firefighters have received an SMS informing them that "personnel interested in performing extraordinary services during their holiday period contact the Chief of the guard."

"If only a few days ago from the Socialist Group we denounced the situation of labor exploitation to which the government team is subjecting this group, which has been working throughout the month of July in shifts of 24 working hours for 24 hours of rest, which leads them to perform up to 96 hours in a week, now the curl has been curled because there are no effective, and the only solution that occurs to the PP is tighten even more operational firefighters, who are reached such degree of exhaustion that in 15 days there is already someone who has had to ask for the withdrawal ", said Hernandez, who added that, in addition," the minimum agreed for the summer period and most of the the days are incomplete vehicles without the expected endowment ".

The spokeswoman also explained that "the service is so bad that you have to resort to cash on vacation, something that until now had only been done in situations of serious emergencies, so that what was previously exceptional, now becomes something usual, but the resources come a moment that are exhausted, which leads us to ask ourselves how far the mayor's situation with the firemen will tense the situation. "

The quality of the service is necessarily resented in a staff with an average age of around 54 years;

a template where many firefighters will have to provide service day yes no day during the summer months, which are precisely the hardest work.

For all this, from the Socialist Group "we denounce once again that it should be the ruling party, the PP, the main guarantor of workers' rights, who should not exceed their maximum workday, nor see their holidays interrupted by a lack of foresight that has been known for more than a decade, since in 2009 the PP announced with great fanfare the need to call 36 seats, and July 2018 have not yet been covered, despite the retirements since then they have produced, "he concluded.
