The mobilization, which took place in front of the Government Delegation in the capital of Gran Canaria, brought together numerous professionals calling for solutions to job insecurity. The protest is part of a strike day called by the Docentes de Canarias-Insucan union and supported by other organizations such as ANPE and STEC.
“"The conservatory is on the verge of a competitive examination process that could leave many teachers with 20 or 30 years of experience out of a job."
According to data from the Ministry of Education, the strike was supported by 769 professionals across the archipelago. Demonstrators chanted slogans such as «we are not disposable» and «these are not privileges, these are our rights,» reflecting their concern for their professional future.
This situation is driven by a recent ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which has deemed Spain's measures to combat temporary employment abuse in public service insufficient. In the Canary Islands, interim teachers number 12,586, representing 30% of the total, significantly higher than the recommended 8%.
The issue of temporary employment is not limited to the education sector but affects various profiles within public administration, with the Ministry of Finance estimating the total number of workers in this situation to be 979,409.
