Cetursa, the public company responsible for managing the Sierra Nevada ski resort, has reached a judicial agreement with the CSIF union. As part of this agreement, the company has admitted to violating the fundamental right to strike and trade union freedom of its staff during protests that occurred in early 2025.
According to a statement from the Independent and Civil Servants Union (CSIF), the acknowledgment took place this week in court. The public company admitted that the hiring of new staff to replace employees who participated in the strikes called by trade unions constituted a violation of fundamental rights.
The union has described this practice as "extremely serious" and stated that it confirms the irregularities they publicly denounced from the outset. CSIF filed a lawsuit in March 2025, arguing that Cetursa violated rights specifically protected by the Constitution to mitigate the impact of protests demanding the company fulfill its commitments to the staff.
CSIF has emphasized that the right to strike is an essential guarantee in any democracy and has called it intolerable that a company dependent on the Junta admits to having violated it in a judicial proceeding. "This agreement must serve to prevent similar actions from occurring in the future, as respecting violated rights is an unavoidable obligation for any employer, and even more so for a public company," the union summarized.
Finally, the trade union organization has reaffirmed its commitment to defending the labor rights of Cetursa workers and has announced that it will continue to take all necessary trade union and legal actions to ensure compliance with labor law.
