The unions estimate that there will be at least 130 redundancies in Tubos Reunidos if the ERE is ratified
The Amurrio and Trapagaran Works Councils have met at the Bizkaia plant to establish a common position before the first meeting with the management on 9 February.
The works councils of Tubos Reunidos in Amurrio (Álava) and Trapagaran (Bizkaia) have met at the Trapagaran plant to coordinate the response to the ERE announcedby the company last Friday and to attend the next meeting with the management with a joint message.
The meeting, which began at 10 a.m., aims to agree on a common strategy because, although the dossier affects both workplaces, the company intends to negotiate as a single ERE.
Trade union representatives have explained that, according to the legislation, an ERE will affect at least 10% of workers, which in the case of Reunited Tubes would mean at least 130 redundancies, which the committees consider to be very high.
For the time being, workers' representatives have indicated that they have no specific documentation on the file, beyond the announcement made by the company and the meeting with the management last Friday.
The next major meeting will be on 9 February, when, according to Tubos Reunidos, the company will submit to the committees the measures of the Feasibility Plan, the aim of which is to ensure the continuity of industrial activity and employment with as little social impact as possible.
The company, which closed the first half of 2025 with losses of 28.4 million euros due to its international tariff policy, has been operating an ERTE at its Amurrio plant since September, in effect until the end of February 2026.
