There is concern that the departure of the US Marines is an excuse for new layoffs. moron air base Isabel Garcia few days ago the news broke of the departure of the marines from the Morón de la Frontera Air Base. As seems confirmed, around 800 troops from the United States Marine Corps will leave the Spanish base at the end of the month to be transferred to Vicenza, in Italy. This is the Crisis Response Force for missions in Africa, an elite corps that has been in Seville since 2013. Asked about this matter in the Congress of Deputies, Minister Margarita Robles assured that the departure of these troops was due to "purely internal organizational decisions" without any political background fired and replaced by American staff. “The essential and main thing are jobs, we are concerned again that any change could be susceptible to being used as an excuse,” emphasizes Juanma Rodríguez..
There is concern about the loss of jobs and although the US air detachment, which gave rise to the Base, remains and is not questioned, it is feared that the departure of the marines will be used as an excuse for new dismissals of the Spanish contractor workers who work on site. “For the last years, the Spanish staff has been thinning and being replaced by American staff,” the mayor of Morón de la Australia Phone Number Frontera, Juanma Rodríguez , tells this newspaper, showing his concern, along with other mayors in the area, about the progressive job cuts that have been taking place in recent years. According to data provided by the UGT union, since 2010 the Morón Base has suffered the dismissal of 50% of its staff. In 2010 alone it affected 119 workers, who continued to be added in subsequent years with the highest numbers in 2013 (66 layoffs) and 2014 (55). In the last years, more than 300 jobs lost along with the impact that this has on their families and the territory. The socialist mayor recognizes the media relevance that the news of the marines' march has generated, but insists that the real problem comes from afar and is not so linked to this issue.
In the last decade, EREs have not stopped occurring , coinciding above all with the change of the concessionaire company, all of them North American multinationals that deal with all the services required by the Base, and that cover not only Spain, but also Italy. and Turkey. The 'refreshment' of these contracts is when it is used to reduce personnel in the different departments, militarize some tasks and replace civilian personnel with American personnel. “This has been the trend in recent years,” he says. Currently, between 250-300 Spaniards work at the Morón Air Base . The figures vary between permanent and temporary staff and the 'run run' of future layoffs continues to increase as the days go by. "The rumor that there is and the concern that the works council conveys to me since the new concession company that manages the Base came in months ago is that there is talk again about optimizing, that there are jobs that must be eliminated." In fact, the mayor tells us, there were recently layoffs in the hotel service area: Spanish staff were.
