Teacher mobilization to stop stabilization

The extraordinary process of stabilization of interim personnel, currently underway, affects all public administrations and must be resolved before the end of 2024. In the case of Education, in the islands 5,000 places are offered3,948 of them through a merit-based competition for which there are 28,786 applications, and the rest through competitive examinations.

The teaching group announces that they will gather in front of the headquarters of the Department of Education of the two capital islands next Friday, March 15 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.. The mobilization will also be carried out in the rest of the archipelago since “there are teachers from all the islands,” they indicate.

«The ruling of February 22, 2024 issued by the CJEU, among other issues, literally establishes clause 5 of the framework agreement must be interpreted in the sense that it opposes national regulations that establish the call for temporary employment consolidation processes. through public calls for the coverage of positions occupied by temporary workers, including non-permanent permanent workers, when said call is independent of any consideration related to the abusive nature of the use of such fixed-term contracts,” they point out in their manifesto.

This implies, they say, “that The CJEU opposes all regulations» that carry out in the Canary Islands «the stabilization or consolidation process for not complying with the provisions of clause 5 of the framework agreement».

It must be taken into account that the stabilization process in the educational sector is at the state level and the conditions are established by the Ministry of Education.

The group of interim teachers remembers that the law of the European Union “prevails” over the national law and over the laws of the communities, therefore, they abound, “the executive power of an autonomous community has the duty to abide by and apply the rulings of the CJEU in matters that affect its powers, and it is time to listen to the European mandate, asking it to avoid confusing citizens with other aspects of the ruling not related to the consolidation processes, defend public workers and fulfill its promise to avoid endanger the stability of the abused interim teachers who work in the Canary Islands and that of their families. And, for all this, the group asks to “paralyze all stabilization processes.”

For its part, the teaching union STEC began a campaign to collect signatures in February asking for the same thing, the paralysis of the stabilization processes until the ruling of the Court of Justice of the EU is applied. In this sense, he believes that the ruling means that “selective processes under Law 20/2021 are not valid because” they do not consider people who are subject to abuse of temporary employment as a primary element.

In a new statement sent this Monday, the STEC highlights that “it has requested both at the sectoral table and at the meeting of the Canary Islands School Council in which the Minister of Education was present that the stabilization procedures be provisionally suspended, being the only one union that has done it.

The STEC planned to deliver this Monday through the General Electronic Registry of the Government of the Canary Islands a first batch of just over 2,700 signatures requesting the suspension of the stabilization process.
