FIXED CONTRACTS

On the 22nd of July 2013, we had an agreement in TLC with the Company about the 30% that by law should have a fixed contract.

Due to holidays the agreement was that the Company should have their list ready by the 15th of September 2013. On the 16th we had a meeting where they informed us the names. We found some errors in their list that needed to be corrected. So the second meeting was on the 19th, where the company came to the meeting with the minutes written already before the meeting. They informed us that it was nothing, just minutes saying that the company inform us. But in the text there was a sentence saying that we approved their list. And as the company had not given us time to study the list, and as we found people in the list that already had fixed contracts since months, we did not sign anything.

The minutes that was written before the meeting, was already signed by the CC.OO

We asked the company to change the minutes, and to give us time to study their list.
When the representative from HR left, she took all the papers with her.

Now we are preparing the papers to denounce the Company to TLC, stating that they did not meet the requirements stated in the sentence from TLC on the 22nd of July 2013.

INDEFINIDOS

El 22 de Julio de 2013 conseguimos llegar a un acuerdo en el TLC con la empresa, acerca del 30% de indefinidos que debería de haber por ley en Sellbytel.

Debido a las vacaciones, el acuerdo decía que la empresa debería tener las conversiones realizadas para el 15 de septiembre de 2013. No obstante, la primera reunión al respecto fue el 16, donde nos informaron de los nombres. Debido a varios errores detectados en la lista, realizamos otra reunión el 19, donde la empresa vino con un acta ya pre-escrita diciendo que era simplemente para informarnos de los nombres. Por el contrario, en el acta se expresaba que aprobábamos la lista de nombres, sin haber tenido tiempo siquiera de estudiar la lista. Además, en la lista entregada, incluso había personas que desde hace meses tenía ya su contrato indefinido, por lo que no firmamos el acta aportada.

A pesar de esto, el acta si ha sido firmada por CCOO.

Solicitamos a la empresa de cambiar el acta y darnos tiempo para estudiar detenidamente la lista. Cuando la representante de la empresa se fue, se llevó todos los papeles con ella, por lo que no podemos estudiar la misma.

SMALL MEETING ROOMS

To many people in the meeting room? or is it the meeting room that is to small?

We have seen that on the 6th floor, in meeting rooms calculated respectively for 10 and 13 people, there has been training for respectively 22 and 28 people.

This is not only a security risk, but also a risk for the hygiene. People can get sick due to lack of oxygen and due to bacteria.

We have denounced these incidents internally to the Committee of Health and Security. We have been promised that this issue will be solved latest today.

If we tomorrow see that the issue consist, we are going to denounce it to the proper authority, (ITC, Inspección de Traball Catalunya)

We do now, after two and a half years, have an agreement with the Company about how to implement the article in our collective agreement mentioning that 30% of the staff do have to have a fixed contract

PVD
It is a long story and it is still ongoing. It is very clear that the Company won’t implement the article in the collective agreement mentioning the 5 minutes break every hour. We have tried to negotiate and we have been very large at many points, but they will not accept the fact that the PVD is part of our collective agreement

PLAN DE IGUALDAD

Después de dos años y medio, por fin tenemos un Plan de igualdad en la empresa. Ha costado muchos meses y horas negociarlo.

Lo tenemos imprimido en nuestra oficina, por si queréis echarle un vistazo.

INDEFINIDOS 30%

Por fin hemos alcanzado un acuerdo con la empresa acerca del 30% de indefinidos obligatorio por convenio.

PVD

Es una historia muy larga y sigue en curso. Está muy claro para nosotros que la empresa no aplicará el artículo del convenio en el que tenemos que tener 5 minutos de pausa cada hora. Hemos intentado negociar en muchas ocasiones, pero no aceptarán que el PVD es parte de nuestro convenio.

CAMBIO EN LA POLÍTICA DE SANCIONES

En cuanto a las sanciones por retrasos al puesto de trabajo, la empresa ha decidido que la sanción máxima en la falta muy grave será de 7 días de suspensión en vez de entre 12 días y 2 meses como dice el convenio.

HORAS MÉDICA

Disponemos de 35 horas al año para visitas médicas en el horario laboral. Estas horas no pueden ser denegadas. Lo único que tienes que hacer es registrarlas en SBW. Esta es la única manera oficial de informar a la empresa de que asistirás al médico. En las 35 horas se incluye el tiempo que utilizas en el médico más el tiempo de desplazamiento

Estamos a la espera del resultado

EQUALITY PLAN

Finally we do have an equality plan in Sellbytel.

UGT asked for the plan already in March 2011, and the Company informed us that there were no equality plan.
Since then we have been asking the Company several times to implement an equality plan, but without any luck.

Then April this year we got help from the ITC (Inspección de Trabell Catalunya) and that helped a lot.

Now the equality plan is in place, signed, and approved. Now we just need to see it on the Intranet.

UGT has been working hard in order to finish the plan. We had professional help coming from the union, and all, almost all, our suggesting's has been implemented in the equality plan. To start with, the Company thought that it could be done in 3 weeks, we told them that was impossible. And we were right. Several time the end date had to be postponed. After 3 month and several hundreds man hours, we succeed to finish the plan.

We welcome the new equality plan and we do hope that the plan will be implemented successfully in the Company policy.

If you have any questions, or if you want to read the equality plan, you are more than welcome to visit our office at any time. Here we do have the plan on print.

MEDICAL VISIT

When you need to visit your doctor, you have to try to get the appointment in your free time. But as we all know, the doctors are very busy, and it can therefore be very difficult to get an appointment out of office hours. So in order to not wait to long to visit your doctor, you take the appointment you can get.

By the way, you don't have to call your medical centre to get the appointment, you can book it on the Internet, www.catsalut.cat

Once you have the appointment, you book the time you need, including transport, in Sellby-World. The time you book in Sellby-World, does not have to be approved, nor can it be denied. Said with other words, you don't have to discuss the time you need to your medical visit.

You do have 35 hours per year to visit your doctor during office hours. These hours are not to be recovered.

If you use more than 35 hours per year to visit your doctor, the Company can choose to deduct the hours in your salary.

 

If you have any questions/doubts, please don't hesitate to contact us
