ICIA workers demanding their continuity at the headquarters of counseling.

THEY REPORT IMPROVISATION AND IRRESPONSIBILITY IN THE UNIFICATION WITH THE ICCA.

The workers of the Canary Islands Agricultural Research Institute gathered yesterday at the headquarters of the regional government ministry, to protest the economic unification planned by the executive despite being autonomous centers established with totally different missions.

The executive plans to merge both Institutes to save money, which has caused rejection among professionals who have been carrying out their work. The workers have accused the political leaders of improvisation and bungling; Like this, the person chosen to preside over this unification “has not even been seen, "he is not even expected".

ICIA workers have publicly shown their concern about this policy of “meaningless fusion”, reason why they have decided to start protests against a measure that “breaks years of work, with a scientific work schedule, which puts the future of the Institute in check and will lead to the disappearance of many jobs”.

Among the support that has been added, the proposal approved unanimously in the La Laguna city council stands out.. For this reason, professionals have decided to start a direct line of work with the institutions that benefit from the research and work carried out at the ICIA, so that in turn they position themselves in favor of the continuity of the Institute.

El colectivo de trabajadores denuncia que llevan muchos días tratando de ser recibidos por los responsables canarios de Agricultura, sin que hasta la fecha lo hayan conseguido. Esta es la razón que los ha llevado a pasar a la acción con esta primera concentración, con el objetivo de que se visualice el problema por parte de la sociedad.
