PetronorRE's works council has denounced the failure to comply with the agreements reached with the company during a rally held this Friday in Muskiz (Bizkaia). The committee has also highlighted the "deplorable" state of the facility, which has been threatened with "pressure measures" by workers.

Workers' representatives at the company have pointed out that labour relations with management in recent years have been "deteriorated", noting that "management is increasingly intransigent and insensitive".

The Commission has pointed out that the image that the company is projecting abroad is a long way from reality. In this regard, the Commission has stressed the poor state of the infrastructure: 'The state of the facilities is regrettable, because there is a lack of investment and maintenance work is being done that only seeks to save costs (...) the model puts the benefit before safety'.

The state of the facility is deplorable. "

"Petronor is a powder keg, and there has also been a significant increase in the number of serious accidents, as well as emissions of uncontrolled polluting and toxic products, which can cause accidents to workers and their immediate surroundings."

While accusing the Basque Government of"looking the other way" , the committee denounces the lossof workers' rights: "The new Directorate has imposed a substantial change in working conditions involving the loss of rights (...) to increase the daily working hours of workers without any compensation whatsoever."
