Masivo paro de estatales en Gran Bretaña
Cerca de un millón y medio de empleados le exigieron al gobierno de Tony Blair que modifique el nuevo sistema de pensiones.
Los trabajadores estatales de Gran Bretaña iniciaron hoy una huelga de 24 horas exigiendo que el gobierno de Tony Blair modifique el nuevo sistema de pensiones, debido a que, en opinión de los gremios, genera desigualdades. La medida se siente con fuerza en escuelas, bibliotecas, centros comunitarios, deportivos, sanitarios y hogares de niños y ancianos, como también los tribunales, cuerpos de bomberos y dependencias estatales, informó la cadena británica de noticias BBC. También se realizaron manifestaciones y marchas de protesta en Glasgow y Edimburgo, en Escocia, y en varias ciudades de Inglaterra y Gales. Los principales sindicatos del gremio -TyG, GMB y Amicus-, que nuclean a cerca de 1,5 millones de trabajadores, anunciaron además que tienen prevista realización de una huelga nacional en mayo si el gobierno no acepta iniciar una negociación. Los trabajadores protestan contra los planes del gobierno sobre pensiones, que permiten a algunos empleados jubilarse a los 60 años y a otros a los 65. Los sindicatos afirmaron que todos los estatales deberían disfrutar del mismo plan, incluida la Policía, los empleados del Sistema Nacional de Salud (NHS) y maestros, quienes recién pueden jubilarse a los 65 años.
