They will strike at the Legutiano Metal Group and protest in Abadiño over an ERE that will cause 139 redundancies
In the ERE, they propose to close the Lebario (Abadiño) plant by firing 48 of its workers and reducing the Legutiano workforce by 91 people.
The works council of the Metal Group plant in Legutiano has called an indefinite strike since January 7, and that of the Abadiño plant has announced rallies to denounce the employment regulation dossier that proposes the destruction of 139 jobs.
In these two workplaces 183 people work TOTAL, in the casting and machining of automotive parts. In the regulatory file, they propose the closure of the plant in Lebario (Abadiño), firing the 48 workers there, and reducing the workforce in Legutiano by 91 people.
CCOO has reported in a statement that the company "defends the need for an ERE based on the ongoing negotiation with the main customer, which has not yet been closed."
The negotiating table of the ERE of the members of the committees of both plants (ELA, CCOO and LAB) has denounced that the change of management of the company "has only been in the face of the gallery" and that Metal Group "is still in the hands of the old management that led the company to a creditor competition in May".
On Thursday of last week, following the first meeting of the consultation period, an assembly was held at the Legutiano plant, and the workers ratified the proposal of ELA (majority in the centre) for an indefinite strike from 7 January.
In the case of Abadiño, who has been free of workloads for two months, it has been decided to convene\ u00A0 rallies to denounce the "destruction of jobs", which will take place tomorrow at 12:00 in Olakueta Square in Berriz and on Monday at 18:00 in the porch of Santa Maria de Durango.
