The judge cancels Petronor's trial and gives him a week to vote on the pre-agreement

The pre-agreement includes, among other things, "15 minutes of compensation." If that meeting has not been held before Monday, without the pre-agreement being voted on, the judge will finally decide.

Petronor workers protest against the new locker room.

On Friday, the judge of the Bilbao Social Court suspended the labor dispute following the launch of a new Petronor locker room, giving a one-week deadline for voting in assembly on the pre-agreement reached between UGTand CCOO with the company.

The source of the conflict is the launch of a new locker room with an investment of 6 million, as  islocated in a relocation building for workers , and in practice they criticise thefactthat  involves an extension of the working day by 30 minutes .

As a result, the works council called a strike in Petronor, which was intended to denounce the "deterioration" of the refinery's maintenance and the "interested interpretations eta" of the agreements. Finally, CCOO and UGT reached a pre-agreement and wanted the proposal to be put to the vote in assembly.

In this context, the TU union and several workers have concentrated this Friday outside the courts against the pre-agreement reached between CCOO and UGT with the company, which includes, among other things, "15 minutes of compensation".

Finally, the trial has been suspended, and the judge has given a week to hold a workers' assembly to vote on this pre-agreement. If it has not been held before Monday, without a vote, the judge will finally rule on this dispute.
