The Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE), on the occasion of International Labor Day, has launched a statement with which it intends to “raise your voice again to denounce the inequality suffered by women soccer players in a society that must move towards effective and real equalization.”
AFFECTS THAT The new collective agreement for first soccer players “perpetuates the social gap And delves into the loss of rights and working conditions that should aspire to the new regulation of the highest female category “, which leads them to claim” agreements that guarantee full equality between men and women, and end the great differences in labor matters that still, today, directly affect women soccer players. “
Salary gap, guarantee background …
The agency has detailed some aspects of the current agreement in which it thinks there should be changes. This is the case, for example, of the working days because “80% of the players have part -time contracts” and “Only League F clubs are obliged to hire full -time His players “while” in the case of his teammates is imposed in the first three categories of male football. “
Likewise, he appreciates a “lack of protection to the players of the subsidiary with first team dynamics who have met the participation requirements” because “in the face of the following season these soccer players would not be protected by the agreement until they reached these criteria again.”
They also defend that there is a Salary gap with male football and among women's own players; and a setback in the 'plus of antiquity' because the players who have accumulated an antiquity in recent years lose this right.
On the other hand, they claim The creation of a salary guarantee fund that does exist in male football; They criticize the elaboration of the calendar unilaterally by the F League and the non -inclusion in its agreement any reference to the distribution or promotion of its competition through the collections of official chromos, and question situations related to the mixed commissions and the abbreviated procedure.
In addition, he questions that the final of the Copa del Rey is set, both the date and the place of celebration, many months in advance and that that does not happen with the Queen's Cup; And they ask for the permanent inclusion of League F matches in the quiniela because it would allow not only to give greater visibility to the competition, but also generate new income for the League.
