Mercedes has launched a mobilisation campaign at its Vitoria-Gasteiz plant in December and the works council does not rule out calling stops to deal with the "deterioration of labor relations." 

In a note sent this Tuesday by the Working Committee, he called on the workers to mobilize, which currently employs about 5,000 workers in Mercedes de Vitoria. 

The Works Council gave the green light to the mobilisation campaign at its meeting on 1 December, with the favourable votes of ELA, LAB and ESK and the abstention of UGT, CCOO and Ekintza.

In particular, they accuse the company of breaching agreements and hiring temporary workers through temporary companies, while stressing that the workers have opposed the fact that the morning and afternoon shifts are nine hours. 

For all these reasons, the committee believes that it is time to say 'enough is enough'. It says that if the company continues to fail to comply with the agreement and the workers do not denounce it, they will want to 'get over it' in the next collective agreement.
