Hundreds of people reported on Saturday in Pamplona, San Sebastian and Bilbao the situation of the surveillance and cleaning personnel, called by the Socialist Organisation of Women Itaia. It points to the "responsibility" of the public administration in the situation of personnel in the sector, demanding for all "the same conditions of work and quality life".

Itaia denounces that surveillance and cleaning personnel face multiple types of oppression in their daily lives: "Excessive working hours, low wages and high workloads", among others. They add that they have difficulty organizing themselves in this situation, among other things because they are "isolated jobs", because they "deny them the right to strike", because the media do not give them a voice and have little "social protection". They stress that this situation is even worse for migrant women, who are in a "very vulnerable situation" in society.

In view of this, the organization has called for organizing and joining the struggle, based on the class unit of women workers from different sectors, "towards the construction of a society that guarantees the welfare of all".
