Huelga de hostelería en Canarias en Semana Santa: negociaciones sin avances
📌 In Santa Cruz de Tenerife province, hospitality employers and unions remain at odds over labor and economic conditions, continuing the Easter Week strike discussions. The sector employs 76,821 people: 33,633 in accommodation services and 43,188 in food and beverage services, according to Q4 2024 data from Istac. Manuel Fitas of Sindicalistas de Base states this is the third well-intentioned failure by the Canarias Government and insists the strike won’t be called off without an agreement on all terms. Ashotel and AERO propose linking wage increases to productivity and improved working conditions, but unions highlight issues like work overload and work-life balance, demanding shifts allowing for family life, eliminating split shifts, excessive work, and ensuring staff levels meet service needs without compromising workplace safety and health. They also call for replacing sick leave, aligning job categories with actual duties, and regulating temporary employment agency contracts. A salary review could avert the strike if employers accept the pre-warning points, Fitas warns. The employers seek to address economic aspects and daily operational challenges, suggesting a negotiation table for the collective agreement, with further talks planned next week.

¿Cómo se puede conseguir una movilidad más sostenible en el transporte?
📍 In Mallorca, traffic reaches over 1.3 million daily movements during peak season, with more than 75,000 rental cars on the roads. The Consell de Mallorca aims to limit non-resident vehicle entry and set a rental car quota, while introducing shuttle buses to natural areas, as in Formentor. Barcelona's Project Zona Bus 4.0 plans to increase parking fees for tourist buses from 20 to 80 euros to encourage public transport use. Tenerife's 'Ashotel Movilidad Compartida' project reduced CO2 emissions by 64% and removed 106 vehicles daily by sharing buses among 14 hotels. In Benidorm, a pilot test with Repsol and TUI used biocombustibles from organic waste, reducing emissions by up to 90%. Tenerife South Airport, handling over 12 million passengers annually, faces taxi shortages, with Ashotel advocating for joint service areas. Sustainable tourism requires collective commitment from public administrations, private companies, and tourists.

Los nuevos pisos turísticos necesitarán el aval de los vecinos
