The workers of Azkoitia Juaristi and Aitek  , with the same owner, have denounced the "unsustainable situation they are going through in the last year". Since May, the management has established a temporary employment regulation file in these two companies,  workers have not been paid four months and five extra payments and thecompany does not have a clear viable plan to deal with the situation.

This has been explained by the representatives of the works councils - members of the LAB and ELA unions - at a hearing held this morning in Azkoitia, where they have said that the "lack of concrete proposals and a clear viable plan on the part of the management" and the "differences in remuneration and information" have "endangered the future of jobs and the dignity of workers", and in view of this situation they have decided to undertake the\ u00A0 mobilizations.

The workers believe that "management is preparing for a covert closure . "" By now, 40% of workers have been forced to leave without any compensation. "They have therefore called for an" immediate and profound change in management, based on transparency and professionalism. "

Among other things, they accuse the management of failing to comply with the terms of the regulatory dossier and of establishing "arbitrary and unfair classifications in payments, with the aim of breaking the union of workers and weakening collective strength".  They also accuse the management of concealment of information, and in this regard the workers mention that they have not been informed of the operation "concerning the sale of a pavilion". 

Trade unions call on organizations to intervene in the  conflict and defend "workers' rights and jobs." 

To denounce the situation, workers have called a demonstration for Friday: 19: 00 from Azkoitia Square.

During the dining strike, Pedrosa has asked for respect for students taking food from outside if the school allows it

The Education Counsellor has asked that, after three days of strike last week by school canteen workers to demand an improvement in their working conditions, the previous situation should not be repeated after being called for 10, 11 and 12 March, because in some schools, students were deprived of food taken from their homes. Pedrosa has asked unions and companies "not to rise from the table" until an agreement has been reached, because they have a "good basis" for it.
