CGT denounces that the lifeguards of Sant Josep are paid “salaries that do not correspond to the responsibility of saving lives and also are not updated for nine years, losing its value at an accelerated pace with the inflation that is being experienced”. Specifically, these salaries are between 1,050 and 1,100 euros net1,050 to 1,100 euros net, “which is barely enough to pay the rent,” he says.

In this sense, the communiqué highlights that “60% of the lifeguard staff of Sant Josep live in vansin their own car or even camping – which is called destitution – in a forest or on a beach, or crammed into company houses where up to three people have to share a room”.
The union regrets that the mileuristas salaries are perceived despite the existence of “a sectoral agreement of lifeguarding”. This, it criticizes, includes “a pro-company clause that violates the workers’ statute and prevents the introduction of the new agreement”. On the other hand, the note affirms that the professionals of the sector receive “a forgotten technical instructionoutdated and derisory from 2015″.
