CCOO has called for increased oversight of ambulance services in the Canary Islands, urging the Canarian Health Service to take charge if no agreement is reached by September. The union reports a stalemate in negotiations regarding the collective agreement for health transport workers, warning that this could impact future service tenders. Their demands include salary increases, professional recognition for healthcare technicians, and improved working conditions. In Fuerteventura, CCOO highlights challenges related to the island’s geographical dispersion, noting that there are currently only two medical ambulances for the entire population. They also call for a fixed ambulance in Antigua and a comprehensive assessment of local healthcare needs. The union plans to continue mobilizations and may intensify protest actions to defend both workers’ rights and service quality. Fuerteventura is part of the Canary Islands, known for its diverse landscape and tourism.
