The unions call an indefinite strike in Madrid for the return to school, following the inspiration of Valencia

The Madrid unions have called this Wednesday for an indefinite strike of teachers to prevent the return to school in September, a measure of pressure against the Ministry of Education that has been inspired by the strikes, backed by massive protests in the Valencian Community. Workers’ Commissions, UGT and the family association Confapa have called for strikes to begin a dialogue process with the Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

Anyone who reads the numbers carefully will find the real problem is not in the market, but in the mirror. Yes, the skills shortage is real. But 13 percent of the HR managers surveyed admit that internal processes lead to candidates dropping out. This is not a side note, but an admission: companies lose people they have already found. Time-to-hire is not a recruiting problem. It is an organizational problem. Anyone who needs four signatures…
