Cristina Escoda criticises Toni Pérez's human resources policy, which has led to the failure of municipal technical services
The PP's lack of foresight leads Benidorm to hire labourers from l'Alfás employment agency
Benidorm City Council is once again turning to nearby towns to cover the lack of municipal workers. The socialist spokesperson, Cristina Escoda, has criticised the fact that Toni Pérez's government team "now has to use the employment agency for labourers of the construction in l'Alfás del Pi City Council to temporarily cover the vacancies existing in our council due to its lack of planning".
Escoda has recalled that two months ago Benidorm had to resort to a La Vila Joiosa pool to cover the lack of janitors as there were no job pools established in Benidorm City Council for the provision of the aforementioned. A situation that is being repeated again and has led the City Council to resort to these pools due to the urgency and need to cover the positions of labourer and official in the municipal brigade.
The spokesperson has explained that today a proposal has been passed through the Governing Board to approve the agreement between both administrations to resolve the immediate need of Benidorm City Council to incorporate these professional profiles. In this regard, the councillor has denounced the policy of dismantling municipal departments that Mayor Toni Pérez has carried out in his years as the head of the council. “Services and departments such as design, payroll, urban planning and telephone assistance have been removed and outsourced, and now it is the turn of the Technical Services. And the worst of all this is that in the end, this destructive human resources policy ends up negatively affecting the services provided to citizens and the different entities and associations of the city,” she said.
Finally, Escoda has censured the lack of foresight of Toni Pérez's executive who, despite knowing of the large number of retirements in the brigade and that the social collaboration plans were going to end, has not been able to carry out the necessary processes to have its pool of labourers and officials, “and not have to urgently resort to other municipalities. "The mayor must devote himself to managing Benidorm and solving the serious personnel problems that the town hall has, and stop travelling and taking photos around the province," he stressed.
