Spokesperson for the CGT trade union branch at Inditex–Plataforma Europa (Zaragoza),where he answers our questions about the situation of the workers at Inditex and about the impact of the coronavirus crisis on the company's business
In light of the government decree to suspend “non-essential” activity
partial or discretionary operation of almost all companies that worked before it
CGT and other unions should appeal to the rest of unions and union branches to promote a general stoppage of all non-essential companies
I cannot speak on behalf of my union in that I do not know the general position on the matter and I am not the spokesperson that carries that burden
What I could say is that the CGT has argued that
the economic order and its profits should be relegated in favour of people's health
the decree continues to force us to work by force majeure and does not look after the workforce
I think that the current situation is dire and requires great sacrifices
but if we look towards a sustainable model of life
the greatest sacrifice should be at the expense of capital in favour of people
I believe that the government could have acted with greater boldness and courage
A general stoppage is a decision that must be put on the table
The example we have had in the workers of the factories of northern Italy (Piedmont
Emilia Romagna and Veneto) in the areas most affected by the outbreak in a situation analogous to what has just happened here
where the workers have chosen to call a strike as a sign of rejection of the Italian government's emergency measures and their decision to keep factories open while shops and commercial businesses are closed
The effort to maintain industrial activity as normal threatens public health
so our commitment should be to increase the pressure and to fight by all possible means for the stoppage of all economic activity that is not essential in the current emergency situation
Taking into account that the state of emergency leaves the workers' right to strike unchanged: yes
and we should look for allies to this approach towards truly non-essential companies
assessing the current situation given that non-essential industries have the legal obligation to carry out minimum essential activity with their activity on the weekend or an ordinary holiday as a reference
The line would be that of a common approach in line with the recently called strategy of the two big Basque nationalist unions
We know that of CCOO and UGT obviously would not endorse it
including the unions of the parties in power
is that all possible health guarantees for workers must prevail
however the problem is that zero risk does not fit into this
To continue defending economic activity at all costs is
very limited in that it does not eliminate the risk
at least in a short and defined space in time
when all workers stay at home except for truly essential workers
That is the maximum level of preventative measures
I agree that we should act under strict health criteria away from political focus
but I read with concern that the health technicians themselves denounce how this past Sunday health personnel are being exposed and unprotected following the current premises of the procedure of action for the Occupational Risk Prevention Services against exposure to SARS-CoV-2
members of the scientific community in a joint statement warned a week ago that total confinement was essential to avoid the collapse of the healthcare system due to the risk of saturation (i.e
my question is: What is the price of a life
Are we resigned to accept collateral damage in order to avoid an economic setback that will lead to a recession
Exactly what is the employment situation now at Inditex
The Inditex group was bound by the Prime Minister’s announcement of a state of emergency
forcing the transnational company to close 1580 stores
Changing rooms had been closed preemptively at the time
but it should be noted that the employers themselves
Accessories and Leather Trade (Acotex) already considered it "irresponsible" to keep stores open
after the announcement of the decree that forced the closure of all commercial establishments
Inditex was carrying out the recommendations of public bodies
launching teleworking for employees of its central services in order to continue operating normally and comply with the guidelines of the procedure of action against the exposure of the Coronavirus of March 5
Inditex has no intention of carrying out a risk assessment in its workplaces / Image: fair use
our Logistics and Manufacturing network continued to operate with apparent normality
if we have had to reduce working time in warehouses
it has not been exclusively due to the preventive attitude by the employers
but because our global activity has suffered from top to bottom and we have had to adapt to existing orders levels
Until the government's recent announcement to close all non-essential activity
we have survived mainly due to online activity and business from markets that are recovering
such as China (which is 8% of the company’s business) or Russia
highlighting the company’s ubiquitous global presence operating in 106 markets
which allows them to weather the storm better than many small and medium-sized companies
a recommendation from the Ministry of Health
although it was presented as a preventive measure
some being agreed verbally (It is common at Inditex to refrain from reporting any information in a written manner
greatly reducing transparency) were changed at very short notice on the company’s whim
and resulted in increased working time to focus on the ‘essentials’
we are seeing workplaces where we have continued to work despite risk of contagion
with the minimum aspects set by the Ministry of Health
These minimum aspects include social distancing of two meters
ensuring proper cleaning of surfaces and spaces
disinfecting common areas and common workspaces
and avoiding sharing objects between workers
All of this is creating a state of total insecurity
we have demanded time and time again that the company provides masks and gloves for workers
as an essential condition to be able to work safely
with 1.4 million masks landing in Zaragoza
that Inditex has not given this equipment to its workers to guarantee their safety
despite smaller companies with much less resources doing so
the company has imposed an action protocol (that should have been agreed upon with the unions) in all logistics centres in a unilateral way and without any intention on the part of the company to carry out a risk assessment of the different jobs and workplaces
We had been demanding an alternative protocol for ten days and only on March 24 did the company impose its own protocol "to guarantee daily production." The crux of the matter is that in the eyes of Inditex production must not stop
and the health of the workers is secondary to this production.
You have reported that several colleagues have fallen ill with COVID–19.
in the most affected areas such as Madrid and Guadalajara (at the Meco platform and in Cabanillas) there are people who have tested positive
Comrades have also reported to me that there was a subcontractor who tested positive
which was not reported by form at the time
the procedures put in place by the Ministry of Health to avoid the collapse of the health system - ordering that the coronavirus test should not be done on people who had mild symptoms compatible with the disease that causes COVID-19
but only of those who had serious symptoms
has prevented workplaces from controlling the contagion between all the personnel
Official figures and the reality of the situation are two different things
The absence of tests diagnosed through PCR
makes us suspect that there are many more positives that are not counted in the statistics
the strategy implemented by the government against COVID-19 is not implemented
We advocate the closure of all non-essential businesses
it is impossible to defend against contagion
no matter how many security measures and protocols are put in place
In many cases protocols are introduced too late and as a result work very poorly
The main reason they do not work is because the basic requirement of the company is: "security: yes
faced with the first official case of COVID-19 in our workplace in Zaragoza
and has not guaranteed absolute safety for all workers
this is a result of an unclear position regarding what is defined as "close contact"
The government today decreed that "it extended the confinement to workers of non-essential activities"
but still exempting some companies from the stoppage
including those that are dedicated to the production "of work clothes or sanitary products”
That comes just after Inditex announced that it was going to produce hospital gowns
Do the warehouses that are sending clothes to China count among these?
and in the absence of the wording that the council of ministers will produce
according to the draft that was seen on television on the 27th
only three sectors of activity would remain running
Among these three sectors was work clothing and textiles
only in cases where production is exclusively for the protection of health workers
as Inditex has already announced in a way their predisposition to manufacture necessary textile material for hospitals
We understand that the logistics centres would not be within the purpose that the government intends
The activity of our centres according to the CNAE 5210 is deposit and storage
which is outside the sphere of industrial activities declared as essential services
if we reorganised to use our logistical potential in a workplace like ours to send out the much needed health care material at this time
if the company is able to provide us with the masks that we have requested
in addition to gloves and measures of sufficient security
it would be an honour to work for a common good..
the CGT has risen quite a bit in the last year: in Pull & Bear
in those stores specifically and in a very important place like Madrid
the CGT comrades at Pull & Bear recently won the entire representation
winning 13 shop stewards from CCOO and 4 from UGT
just four months after winning the union elections in Zara and Lefties with 11 of the 25 representatives
highlighting the decline of CCOO from 10 to 6 and UGT from 7 to 2
represented by comrades Aníbal Maestro and Soledad Arangunde
I want to highlight their great work and I think that more good news is coming
because I think it is becoming evident that what they are struggling for is to equalize the working conditions of the different brands
The CGT is gaining support as a result of the crisis / Image: Mamfe
We are also growing in logistics warehouses
The Cabanillas (Guadalajara) platform of Pull & Bear stands out
the CGT has recently overturned the previous situation
obtaining an overwhelming majority with eight shop stewards by taking two from CCOO and one from FETICO
leaving CCOO with four delegates and UGT with none
In the logistics centre of the Stradivarius brand
And now we are waiting on both Cabanillas of the Zara Home platform and in our centre in Zaragoza
where we are the largest union together with UGT
to proceed to union elections where we hope to continue consolidating our strength
The company's “divide and conquer” strategy
which was enabled by the union leadership that existed before
who said that it was “impossible” to fight these differences
Change is unstoppable and the company is fully aware of this
since it sees the dominance of the government parties’ affiliated unions
with whom we have a cordial and close relationship
In each warehouse there are different working conditions
Even in each province there are different conditions for each brand
In Zaragoza there are 1,800 workers on an annual average wage
although sometimes with seasonal support we exceed 2,000 workers
There are 10 other logistics centres throughout Spain guaranteeing the production of its 8 brands such as Arteixo and Narón in A Coruña
We have been demanding a common labor framework
Zara Logistics workers in Galicia can collect 10,000 euros more than in Zaragoza
and these 5,000 more than their colleagues in Barcelona
We aspire to build an environment of labour relations that complies with the principle and fundamental right of "equal work
I have to point out the work of my friend Professor Jesús de Val Arnal (TEU Professor of Labour Law and Social Security at the University of Zaragoza) who carried out very interesting work in a paper on the legal nature of Inditex
as the only explanation for the collective bargaining structure of the company’s logistics platforms
depending on the territorial scope of application of the agreement
imposes different salary conditions for the same work
reaching agreements in each warehouse with different salaries within the so-called irregular collective bargaining (a.k.a
We have one of the best examples of this in Cabanillas del Campo (Guadalajara) where two Inditex warehouses are located: Zara-home logistics SA and Plataforma Cabanillas SA. Within the same premises
due to the strength of the collective and due to the number of comrades present in the warehouses
it has been easier to struggle for better working conditions
But there are still discriminations that remain
there are bonuses at the production level that the managers receive and the operators do not
despite the fact we are all indispensable in bringing "responsible fashion" products to our stores..
it is in locations where staff salary is much lower that the company's policy of isolating and separating workers store by store and province by province has been more successful
in each province the company accepts the textile trade wage agreement
The company seeks a large turnover of workers
which it does not make permanent employees
and from there it makes very sizable profits
The usual thing in stores is to have a part-time contract maintaining a high eventuality rate
The precariousness in the company is not only in the economic side
What type of employment does the company generate
However the majority of Inditex workers are in stores
and where there is a lot of turnover in contracts
Such wage differences do not have any reasonable justification
breaking with the principle of equal pay for equal work
compulsorily for compliance in article 14 of the Constitution and in article 28 of our Workers Statute
Inditex is the acronym for "Textile Industry"
the success of the company's history has been towards offshoring and international outsourcing in the context of globalization
and expanding its contracts in the poorest countries where most of the value is created
was through dedicating itself to the textile retail trade
with products which have extracted strong capital gains in the poorest countries
The company has been giving a lot of publicity to the fact that when it applies the temporary employment regulation scheme (ERTE)
it would complement the 70% sick pay that the government would pay with the remaining 30%
it must be said that we positively value the latest decision
that the Inditex Group would assume with its financial resources the entire cost of temporary suspensions for all personnel in Spain
it also seems that ERTE will not be applied to Logistics
which represent around 40% of workers in Spain
we believe that some marketing came into play here
First came the famous announcement to put our logistics capacity at the service of the Government to bring
medical supplies such as textiles; and then the announcement of the donation of 1.5 million masks
What they later said is that they were evaluating applying an ERTE
as they had transmitted it to all the company committees of their logistics centres
We believe that Inditex initially wanted to implement the ERTE in the least expensive way
but it was social pressure that forced them to postpone it
Only then it was announced that it would cover the remaining 30% of the salary to reach 100% of the salary
This was mitigating a marketed image all along
because even at the start they were saying they would not pay our complementary employment wages
That's when the "social pressure" came in and the company backtracked due to the possible scandal generated by taking advantage of the conditions that the state grants when assuming workers' wages
they assured us that they would assume that 30% complement to the state pay
factories as central services that bring together around 20,000 workers out of the 48,000 in Spain
it seems that they will not run the ERTE in April
promising to pay 100% of the salary despite working fewer hours
they have more than enough financial muscle to maintain the aforementioned conditions
I am concerned about the many small and medium-sized companies
as well as the self-employed; but Inditex has accumulated profits to survive
CCOO was the majority union and in recent years you
ELA or other more militant unions have grown a lot
Workers are losing confidence in CCOO for their actions
summarized in the peaceful coexistence and non-aggression pact with Inditex management. They are becoming a beautiful corporatist photograph held with interest by the Group to which it grants a Corsican patent regarding information about employees' conditions
They have been defending a framework of inequality between centres for many years in line with what Inditex has wanted instead of defending a single framework for everyone
We in the other unions do not define ourselves as representatives
The CGT is a militant union while CCOO on the contrary has become in many cases a union of concertation
and of "social peace" typical of other unions that are reviled as being pro-company like FETICO
We see an example of this behaviour in the Coronavirus crisis
as they have defended the interests of employers and the IBEX-35
They have positioned themselves in their own protocols to defend "the production of the company" instead of positioning themselves as other unions have, calling for the total closure of non-essential activities
putting people's health first before capital
