Revolt of yellow reflective vests at home of FC Barcelona, RCD Espanyol, and Girona FC. A union has denounced these three clubs try to free security guards from the obligation to wear reflective bibs in all three stadiums.
The complaint, which is being conveyed through collective conflicts with the three teams, is based on various premises. "The most serious of all is that it violates Law 5/2014 on Private Security, which establishes that security personnel must wear personal protective equipment (PPE) to carry out their work." High visibility vests are reserved for posts in which there is circulation of vehicles, "explained a spokesman for ADN Sindical, the group that has filed the claim. The entity adds that this supplement "reduces reaction capacity in public order alterations in the interior of the fields" and that not always "the appropriate sizes are given" to the staff, what remains "professionalism".
Clubs: "Obligated by a regulation"
Asked by the question, the two biggest clubs denounced, FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol, have given different answers to the informative requests of this medium. The mouthpiece of the adultery has not been answered. For its part, the eleventh classified in the edition of La Liga this year has indicated that it is a matter that concerns the concessionary companies of security. "The clubs have a secondary role in this conflict", has abounded.
Unofficial sources of the Barca have specified that the vests with reflective tapes are used both in the national competition and in the Champions League "in accordance with a television regulation signed with the competitions". They have also defended the use of the garment with the argument that "it helps the visibility of the guards in case of urgent evacuation of a stadium".
It should be remembered that the group of security guards is outsourced in the three cases: Barça, Espanyol and Girona. The three top clubs handle a figure close to 500 professionals in their stadiums, with the Camp, the largest of the venues, taking most of the staff, with about 400 troops. To this figure, we must add the security assistants, the staff that is obliged to wear reflective safety vests and whose job is to help the spectators and indicate emergency exits, toilets and other facilities.
Despite this differentiation, the two collective conflicts that began in the Conciliation Service of the Ministry of Labor yesterday, June 21, ended without agreement. The next step will be the lawsuit against the three clubs.
