Maderas de Llodio, on indefinite strike
The workers of Maderas de Llodio have startedan indefinite strike\u00A0 as a result of the maintenance of the ERE,i.e. 39 of the 151 workers of the plant will be dismissed.
Last week there were two strike days, but the workers' delegation decided to call an indefinite strike from today because the company decided to keep the redundancies.
The works council has denounced the company's intention to move 40% of its production to other factories, implying a "relocation that jeopardizes the future of the plant" in Llodio and the region. It has also reiterated that there is no production or organisational reason for redundancies, but that it is a decision aimed at "economic benefit, regardless of the human cost".
According to the workers,the institutions "have done nothing"and have urged the Basque Government, the Álava Council and local entities to "act to stop this relocation".
The committee consists of three representatives of LAB, two representatives of ELA, two representatives of CC.OO and two representatives of UGT, who have asked the management "not to raise collective redundancies or the like".
