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."
