PSOE spokesman, Peter Lopez, said that it is a contract valued at over € 400,000 with a term of two years and whose duties may be assumed fully by the Statistical Service officers, which would mean a saving to the treasury municipal and added profitability of public sector workers
The Municipal Socialist Group today called a press conference to contest the suspension of service outsourcing and Care Employer Information Citizen valued at 400,000 euros over a period of two years and whose functions can be perfectly assumed by officials Statistical Service (that contract provides for the hiring of five workers and a coordinator).
It continues the spokesman of the PSOE, Pedro Lopez, the treatment of municipal census is linked directly to the management of the electoral roll and, although we have been informed that there is a confidentiality clause, we believe that this is data that should not leave the Council nor be held by any private company.
"These circumstances can question the desirability of foreign workers to replace staff."
Avoid duplication and optimize resources
Moreover, Lopez recalled that last March the Socialist Group in plenary presented a motion asking the local government an audit of all those outsourced services to see what can be recovered by the City through a reorganization of municipal services.
The proposal was rejected, so the Socialist Group, said Lopez, we will examine service by service contracts that the Consistory has outsourced, analyze profitability and depending on the results obtained suggest the municipalization to avoid duplication and optimize all resources.
Defense of public services
In times of prosperity, denounced the PP Lopez-La Glorieta decided to privatize many services of public administration and now, in times of economic difficulties, which are causing severe cuts in health and education, it makes no sense to continue to maintain this policy, especially considering that the City has staff fully prepared to address these services is also what they have done throughout life.
