BSH's Skiing Committee has asked the European Commission to avoid the closure of the plant
Accompanied by MEPs from the PSOE, Sintre, EH Bildu and PNV, representatives of the workers have met with the authorities in Brussels.
The works council of the German household appliance manufacturer BSH in Eskiroz (Navarre) today asked Brussels to mediate to avoid closure, a decision that would affect around a thousand people, between direct and indirect jobs, and the representatives of the workers expect the European Commission to have a 'dialogue' with the multinational.
Accompanied byPSOE MEPs, Sintre, EH Bildu and PNV , the works council met today with the cabinets of EU Vice-President for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy Stephane Sejourne and Employment Commissioner Roxana Minzatu.
"We have given a fairly detailed explanation of our situation and we know that they will take steps to talk to the multinational and see if they work. Time is gold and the aim is to make the deadline for achieving this reliable and feasible option more flexible," summed up by the representative of the works council, Juan José Hermoso.
Hermoso has stressed that some investors want to continue the industrial project and BSH Skiing workers, and has warned that the future of more than a thousand "benchmark" families within the multinational is at stake.
On Monday, the German company BSH transferred to the Government of Navarre and the Ministry of Industry that it will not postpone the date set for the start of the redundancies (17 June) and will proceed with the closure of the Ezkirotz plant.
"Nonsense"
"The decision announced to us yesterday is pointless and we must also say that there is a clear attitude of total contempt for the life of the BSH Skiing Workers," Hermoso lamented.
The Workers' Representation agrees with the Governments of Navarre and Spain in its commitment to reindustrialisation and is now seeking the 'institutional support' of the European Commission to gain time for dialogue with the German company.
"The Navarre Government and society as a whole do not understand the decision, we do not share it and we believe it is a mistake," said Carmen Maeztu, Counsellor for Social Rights, Social Economy and Employment of the Navarre Government.
Since the European Parliament, MEPs Elena Sancho (PSOE), Estrella Galán (Sumar), Pernando Barrena (EH Bildu) and Oihane Agirregoitia (PNV) have come to the Works Council.
