In Eskiroz, BSH workers will vote on Monday by a majority of the works council on the ERE, the pre-agreement reached with management. 

The pre-agreement was approved by the majority of the works council (UGT, CCOO, ATISS and Solidari), not by LAB and ELA, and the final decision will depend on the workers. 

According to the preliminary report obtained last Wednesday night, the factory will be closed and 609 workers will be laid off — initially there were 655 — and the rest will be relocated. Children under 54 years of age will receive compensation of 45 days' compensation for each year worked, without setting a limit on the number of years.  will also receive a reward of 1,500 euros per year.

Pre-retirement will be offered to persons over 55 years of age, with 70% of their gross salary, and in the case of reindustrialization, priority will be given to workers between 50 and 54 years of age. 

In addition, relocations have also been put on the table, which will take precedence over possible vacancies within the company. 

Trade union representatives have held several briefings with workers and will vote on Monday to clarify whether they give the green light to the agreement reached by the majority of the  Works Council.
