They've called an indefinite strike at Maderas de Llodio since September 22
In a statement, the works council has denounced that the company "has announced its intention to move 40% of its production to other workplaces, which is a relocation that threatens the future of the Madelas de Llodio plant and our region."
In Llodio Maderas de Llodio the unions have called an indefinite strike, starting on 22 September, "because the management has decided to maintain the Employment Regulation Dossier ", which will result in the dismissal of 39 of the 151 workers.
In a statement released this afternoon, the works council says that "the company has announced its intention to move 40% of its production to other workplaces "and that this" relocation "will" jeopardize the future of the plant and the region. "" There is no reason to justify these redundancies, either productive or antocalet-this decision is in favour of economic gain, regardless of the human cost. "
The works council has also denounced the lackof action by the institutions to bring the situation back on track. 'The defence of employment requires effective measures, not just those that remain in intentions and declarations', and has therefore called on the Basque Government, the Provincial Council of Álava and local institutions to 'take measures to stop this relocation'.
