• Coronavirus Menstrual disorders?

    The threat of Covid-19 may be the cause

Girona city council workers will have a

menstrual relaxation

permit

after it has been approved by the General Negotiating Table at the request of the Intersindical-CSC union and at the expense of ratification in June plenary session.

According to that union association, the conversations started by exposing to the council that

some employees habitually used vacation days or holidays during menstruation due

to the impossibility for physiological reasons to reconcile health and work.

The solution has been to propose a flexibilization permit that, on April 30, the Negotiating Table approved to guarantee the well-being of the workers.

Intersindical-CSC emphasizes that, for the first time, a physiological process "ignored, stigmatized and which is only talked about

sotto vocce

" is located at this level of conversations and is specified in an agreement.

Through a statement, this union emphasizes that it does not want to maintain an attitude of "covering diseases related to menstruation such as dysmenorrhea or endometriosis."

"The rule should not be painful, but it can occasionally cause discomfort and it is in reference to these discomforts that this permit focuses on, which may lead us to

need a few hours at specific times,"

the text underlines.

It is also pointed out that working

-class women have "more difficulties"

in reconciling these problems caused by menstruation.

Intersindical-CSC states that its objective is to promote this menstrual flexibility permit to the different work centers in Catalonia.
