Barcelona City Council asks residents not to put out rubbish between 10 PM on Tuesday and 10 PM on Wednesday. The minimum service decree also sets the staffing levels for Barcelona Firefighters and the Urban Guard.
Barcelona City Council has approved the minimum service decree for the general strike on Wednesday, and requests residents not to deposit rubbish for 24 hours. The recommendation extends from 10 PM on Tuesday to 10 PM on Wednesday, as reported by the council in a statement.
For Barcelona Firefighters and the Urban Guard, the decree establishes a staffing level of 100% of intervention personnel. The measure aims to "balance" the right to strike with the guarantee of essential services, and continues the Order from the Generalitat that already applies in areas such as education and social services.
In terms of transport, the Metro and buses will provide 25% of the service during peak hours, from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM and from 4:30 PM to 9 PM. The municipal towing service will operate with one third of its usual staffing, reserved for incidents and urgent removals.
Cleaning and public space maintenance services will be scaled down to only address emergencies or road safety issues. Hence the request not to put out bags or containers during this period.
In social services, social dining rooms will operate with the service level of a weekend. The Home Help Service will only attend to urgent and unavoidable needs, and nursing homes, day centres, and teleassistance will maintain the necessary staff for emergencies.
In educational centres, a member of the management team and minimum teaching staff will be present: one teacher for every 6 classrooms in early childhood and primary education, 50% of the staff in special education, and 33% in municipal nurseries, dining rooms, and complementary activities. Administrative offices and records will remain open for time-sensitive procedures.
