Seventy-eight per cent of the workers in the BSH for skiing voted on Monday in favour of the pre-agreement reached by the trade union majority last week, with the votes in favour 475, against 127 (20.85 per cent) and 2 abstentions (0.33 per cent), and five invalid votes (0.82 per cent).

The pre-agreement was approved by the majority of the works council (UGT, CCOO, ATISS and Solidari), but not by LAB and ELA, which left the final decision to the workers.

Under this pre-agreement, the factory will be closed and 609 workers laid off - atthe beginning of , which was 655 - under 54 years of age will receive compensation of 45 days' compensation per year worked, without setting a limit on the number of years.

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 been put on the table, and priority will be given to possible vacancies within the company.

The pre-agreement was reached in the early morning of last Thursday, at the last meeting of the consultation period and seven months after the multinational announced the closure of the factory.

During this time, the Navarre Government has sought to promote an agreement with investors interested in the factory to keep the plant open,  but no agreement has been reached.
