The Balenciaga Shipyard Works Council said today that Abu Dhabi Ports has proposed to lay off seven workers and a 25% pay cut, and in some cases 50%, while stressing that its red lines for approving the agreement are to maintain the workforce and working conditions.
Workers' representatives at the well-known shipyard in Zumaia have stated that they approved the investor offer last July and then presented it to the court, but on 12 November the company in Abu Dhabi called them to a meeting to explain the redundancies and wage reductions.
"A car is approved and we comply with the law," said CCOO's representative on the works council, David Tejera, in a media appearance outside the shipyard, where he stressed that "it is unacceptable to reduce or readjust staff."
He explained that in July they proposed to investors to freeze wages for three years and keep workers and working conditions.
