The Sanlúcar City Council has reinstated three municipal janitors who were dismissed in September 2025, in compliance with a court ruling that declared their dismissal null and void. The reinstatement took effect on November 1st.

The local government will present to the Municipal Plenary the budgetary allocation of €139,149.54 to cover the necessary amounts as per the judicial resolution. The employees will provide services until the positions are permanently filled through a selection process.
The original dismissal was determined upon reaching the three-year temporal contract limit, applying the criteria of Article 70.1 of the Basic Statute of Public Employees, due to the non-initiation of the selection process to fill the positions definitively. These hirings originated from a job pool established in 2020 for general laborers and janitors, with a maximum duration of six months according to its terms.
The Personnel Unit determined their dismissal for having exhausted contract type 410. However, the three dismissed janitors, who were not ranked at the top of the eligibility list, had their contract modality changed in 2022 to continue until the three-year mark, creating an inequality with other individuals on the pool.
In response to this situation, the dismissal in 2025 was based on the application of a technical criterion to ensure equal opportunities among all pool members. The municipal government has complied with the law, which mandates the immediate reinstatement of the dismissed workers, regardless of whether the rulings are yet final. A clarification of these rulings has been requested from the court.
