"With my work there is no play! 10,000 jobs are at risk!"
# 10AnysCongelats
On April 11th, all the entities of AEES Dincat, together with the people and families that make up them, are summoned to go out and raise the voice to:
· Demand improvements in the financing of CETs and care services for people with disabilities with special difficulties.
· Report that between 1,501 jobs of people with disabilities disappear between 2019 and 2020; In the medium term, this figure would raise up to 10,000 jobs that will be at serious risk.
· Report that the precariousness of public financing is reaching the limit and will begin to affect the quality of care for people and the working conditions of professionals.
The social entities that serve people with intellectual disabilities are on the streets to demand improvements in the financing of Special Employment Centers and care services for people. For months we are focusing on denouncing the underfinancing of CETs and the care services we provide.
We came to this situation after 10 years of deterioration of the financing of the entities, caused by the cuts and freezes of the public financing. To this situation we must add that we have models of care and financing that have not been updated in the last 20-25 years and that do not respond to current problems such as the premature aging of people with intellectual disabilities lectual and special difficulties (ED), among others.
In addition, and as an aggravating factor of a complicated situation, the rise of the SMI, which is an undeniable social advance, has not been accompanied by sufficient political support measures for people with disabilities who work in CETs. This lack of political commitment jeopardizes the feasibility of social entities whose objective is to generate and maintain jobs for thousands of people with disabilities with special difficulties. The 10,000 jobs of these people at CET are at serious risk and are indispensable to guarantee job placement with opportunities for all.
Faced with this grave situation, the response of governments, both from the Generalitat and from the State, has been clearly insufficient and in no case is responding to the needs of a sector drowned for years. The situation has reached the limit and the consequences of all this already exceed the capacity of the entities and, unfortunately, will have a direct impact on the quality of life of the people served and their families. The lack of real and urgent solutions causes a great deal of deprivation of these people and places them in a scenario of great vulnerability and uncertainty. From responsibility and social commitment, you must denounce it and demand urgent solutions. Everyone can help us, we can all change the future if we listen to each other.
