In a vote held this Friday, 50.6% of the workers in Villavesa in the region of Pamplona supported the continuation of the strike by six votes to one in a vote in which 450 people took part.



The committee will make an assessment of what happened on Monday. The management has received the result with regret and has warned that it will not negotiate with the workers again until the stoppages are suspended.

The majority UGT and CCOOon the Workers' Committee had taken a stand in favour of supporting the final proposal and then voting on it at the request of the members, but ELA, LAB and ATTUhad expressed their opposition to the company's proposal and were calling for further mobilisation.

The Catalan company TCC, which has awarded bus service in the region of Pamplona, has been running Villavesa since 2009, and since then the number of users has increased considerably: 140,000 passengers per day. Unemployment affects 83,000 passengers a day.

The company's latest proposal included, on the other hand, the salary increase associated with the general CPI, the payment of arrears after the end of the previous agreement, the increase in the holiday and night allowance, the improvement of common contingency benefits and a fourth day of private affairs in 2026 and a fifth day in 2029, the annual working day being 1,658 hours, to which will be added improvements in the schedules affecting family reconciliation.

With this proposal, according to data provided by the company, drivers with new contracts would have a salary of more than 36,000 euros, an average of 40,000 euros, and a working week of less than 37 hours; they would exceed 30% of the salary of the provincial sectoral agreement and would have 100 hours less work.
