Petronor's change of wardrobe has been overturned by a court in Bilbao
The company has announced that it will appeal the court's decision.
A court in Bilbao has proved the unions rightand annulled Petronor's change of locker room on September 15 as " unjustifiedSubstantial Change in Working Conditions. "
The Works Council took to the courts the "covert extensionof the working day "that meant for the staff the use of the new locker rooms enabled at the entrance to the Bizkaia refinery, and called an indefinite strike for this reason, which began on 25 September.
On Thursday last week, the unions decided to suspend the call for unemployment after 83 days and resume negotiations with the management after the management "renounced the judicial route to resolve the conflict", ELA explained at the time.
This union announced on Monday that, following the trial on 27 November, the judge concluded that the shift system prior to the change of locker room was more beneficial to workers and that the company had not sufficiently justified the alleged organizational reasons.
The ruling further notes that the measure involved an increase in working hours on an uncounted day, which had a significant impact on the entire workforce, and therefore invalidates the change of locker room and orders Petronor to restore the previous working conditions.
Petronor has announced thathe will appeal the court decision and recalled that the aim of the new locker room is, above all, to improve the safety of people "by ensuring process access to the facilities in work clothes and all the necessary protective equipment."
