The
Flightcare SL handling company, belonging to the Fomento de
Construcciones y Contratas FCC group, has recently been ordered by the
Labour Court No. 22 in Barcelona to reinstate a worker who belongs to the CNT union in the said company in a decision issued on November 19. However,
the company, rather than abide by the sentence against him, has
chosen to continue paying the worker’s wages but not allow to allow him
to come back to work. This has been described by
spokesperson for the CNT of L’Hospitalet de Ll., which the worker
belongs to, as «unprecedented given the economic crisis facing the
country.» The union concerned lamented that «the
is money for firing workers and starting absurd legal proceedings but
not for salaries, adequate staffing, or health and safety measures».

The worker’s dismissal was motivated by his union activity at Flightcare in a conflict that led to the convening of partial strikes at the company’s headquarters in Barcelona Airport last August. In
a personal letter to the staff, the employee concerned expressed his
intention to return to work and dissatisfaction with the actions of the
company, which he described as » a lack of respect for all workers.»
