DECEMBER 3, 2020, 10:59 The Social Security Labor Inspection has forced Mapfre to register five delegates who were working as false self-employed workers . The insurance company thus joins other companies that have had similar requirements this year, such as Seguros Santalucía. This action has occurred following a lawsuit promoted by the Free Association of Insurance Mediators and Agents and by UATAE. The discharges have occurred in four different provinces of the national territory (one in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, one in Málaga, one in Huelva and two in Zaragoza). In total, the company must face the cost of 300,000 euros in payment of fees and surcharges for unpaid contributions, as well as 15,000 euros as a fine for the fraud committed. Both associations collaborate to combat fraud in the sector and denounce Mapfre's "coercion" and "alleged retaliation" against employees recognized as salaried employees.
In this sense, they point to the “sudden closure” of offices where they provided services, transferring employees from the province, as well as the substantial modification of economic conditions, “omitting the conditions declared in the minutes of the Labor Inspection, in which it was determined that the delegates had the position AOL Email List equivalent to that of office director,” they explain. UATAE reports that in addition to the modification in the hiring formula for these employees, the company is also facing lawsuits filed by the four salaried workers who depended on the delegates. The legal action taken before the social courts challenges the illegal.
Transfer of workers , as well as the related employment relationship. These actions, as UATAE has been detecting, are common in the practice of large companies in more and more sectors and, as ALMAS has been denouncing, “they are the general trend in the insurance sector.” Given this situation, UATAE urges Mapfre to comply with current legislation. María José Landaburu, General Secretary of UATAE, highlights “her support for workers who may be affected by these fraudulent practices” in addition to the need to “report the irregular situation due to which hundreds of thousands of workers have to go from on a daily basis with precarious conditions, due to formulas that have nothing to do with the decent self-employment that we promote at.
