The union has announced that it has filed six complaints this year with the Labor Inspectorate linked to the Joan Miró Cleaning Center, near Plaça Espanya, for what it considers deficient management of anti-heatstroke wristbands, lack of air conditioning in vehicles, occupational risk training and worker information, as well as for the management of some superiors.

The range of gardens found around the world seems almost infinite and is constantly evolving, always responding to the needs of each era. And this isn't a contemporary phenomenon, because throughout the history of gardening, each period has had its own style, reflecting the aesthetic preferences of each time and culture, as well as the climatic conditions, the terrain, and the materials available.
