The firefighting staff had refused to perform voluntary overtime as a protest against the accumulated debt for this concept and due to "staff shortages." The Granada Firefighters Corps lamented the situation, pointing out that the municipal corporation "abuses the goodwill" of the workers by not regularizing the vital service they provide to the capital and 51 surrounding municipalities.
The Councilor for Mobility and Citizen Protection, Ana Agudo, reported that a meeting took place which resulted in an "agreement to move forward with the necessary technical work and studies." The objective is to introduce compensation for "outings to towns" into the 2027 staff budget and to make it effective periodically.
“"The government team has maintained at all times its commitment to loyal, responsible negotiation aimed at ensuring the continuity of an essential service for the safety of Granadans."
Agudo also conveyed the City Council's "willingness" to pay for extraordinary services and positively assessed the climate of understanding reached during the conversations, highlighting the importance of ensuring the continuity of this essential service for citizen safety.
