Mallorca nursery staff to protest outside parliament

Mallorca nursery staff plan another protest outside the Balearic Parliament in Palma at 09.30 on Tuesday. Workers at the islands’ escoletes, or nurseries, want talks on a collective agreement covering the Balearics and a review of the decree on minimum requirements.

The Xarxa 0-3 group is organising the rally with the CCOO, UGT and STEI unions. A march is planned in Maó at 11.00, followed by a protest in Eivissa at 18.00.

The organisers say employers’ associations are blocking talks on the agreement. They also accuse the Balearic Ministry of Education and Universities of holding up a forum for talks on the early-years agreement. They say a realistic review of the minimum-requirements decree is urgently needed.
