Description: Gerontological care, like any professional activity, involves situations of conflict common to any employment relationship, which ultimately refer to the problems experienced by the care sector for the elderly in order to offer quality and sufficiently paid jobs. In this case, the focus is on three aspects that are considered of interest for these purposes: on the one hand, the workers' struggle for a fair salary; on the other, the legal conflict generated around the collective agreement applicable to multi-service companies operating in this sector; finally, the legal debate on the functions that are typical of the gerocultores. Being grateful for the intervention of the Supreme Court in the resolution of the last two issues mentioned, the dynamics of this sector allows us to conclude that there is still a long way to go to place it at the threshold of what can be considered as decent work  Being grateful for the intervention of the Supreme Court in the resolution of the last two issues mentioned, the dynamics of this sector allows us to conclude that there is still a long way to go to place it at the threshold of what can be considered as decent work. In this sense, the improvement of labour standards in the sector seems to clearly have to go through, regardless of specific judicial resolutions, through a dynamic negotiation that sheds light on working conditions that are more in line with the aforementioned standard, especially in terms of salary.
La atención gerontológica como toda actividad profesional arrastra situaciones de conflicto comunes a toda relación laboral, que en última instancia remiten a los problemas que registra el sector de los cuidados a mayores para ofertar puestos de trabajo de calidad y suficientemente remunerados. En este caso se pone el foco de atención sobre tres aspectos que se consideran de interés a estos efectos: por un lado, la lucha de los trabajadores por un salario justo; por otro, el conflicto jurídico generado entorno al convenio colectivo aplicable a las empresas multiservicios que operan en este sector; finalmente, el debate jurídico sobre las funciones que son propias de los gerocultores. Siendo de agradecer la intervención del Tribunal Supremo en la resolución de las dos últimas cuestiones señaladas, la dinámica de este sector permite concluir que todavía queda un largo camino por recorrer hasta situar al mismo en el umbral de lo que puede estimarse como trabajo decente. En este sentido, la mejora de los estándares laborales del sector parece que claramente han de pasar, con independencia de las puntuales soluciones judiciales, por una dinámica negociadora que alumbre unas condiciones de trabajo más acordes con el estándar referido, sobre todo en materia de salario.
