The Section of DOMUM Social Union at Adecco Outsourcing SAU, at the Nestlé workplace in Sant Gregori (Girona), has filed a complaint with the Labor and Social Security Inspectorate regarding deficiencies detected in the changing rooms, hygienic services, and dining area assigned to the subcontracted staff.
The complaint was filed after the workers' representation had previously requested corrective action from Adecco without receiving a satisfactory response. Due to the lack of effectiveness, the staff delegates have requested the Inspectorate's intervention to verify the facility conditions and determine appropriate measures.
According to a union statement, issues noted include the small size of the changing room, deterioration and rust on lockers, insufficient benches, and poor cleaning in the showers, with reports of insects. It is also highlighted that each person has only one locker, there is a single toilet, sufficient cleaning of the dining area and services is not guaranteed on weekends, and the vending machines are frequently out of order. Furthermore, the Adecco staff does not have regular access to the changing rooms, toilets, and dining areas used by Nestlé's own personnel.
The union representation considers that, as the affected individuals exclusively carry out their activities within Nestlé's facilities, both Adecco as the employer and Nestlé, as the owner of the service center, must act in coordination to guarantee adequate material conditions of dignity, hygiene, sanitation, and safety. They emphasize that subcontracting a service should not translate into inadequate or lower-quality facilities for people working stably within the same center, and that the demand is not for preferential treatment but for compliance with minimum workplace and rest area standards.
Specific demands include adapting facilities to the actual number of users, providing sufficient and well-maintained individual lockers, ensuring separation of work and street clothes when necessary, and maintaining correct hygienic conditions in showers and toilets, with regular cleaning of the dining area and services on all activity days.
With the intervention of the Labor Inspectorate, DOMUM hopes to achieve an objective verification of the situation, define responsibilities, and promote an effective solution, while maintaining its willingness to dialogue but deeming verifiable measures and an action timeline essential.
