Balenciaga shipyard workers will return to work this Monday

The Zumaia shipyard will henceforth operate under the command of the Arab group Abu Dhabi Ports. In December the workers and the Arab group closed the sale agreement . The agreement provides for a 5% wage cut and freezing for the next three years.

Theworkers of the Balenciaga shipyard will return to worktomorrow, Monday, starting their activity with their new employer, the Arab group Abu Dhabi Ports , which acquired the historic shipyard of Zumaia (Gipuzkoa) last year for 11.2 million euros. 

The trade staggered for a few weeks, until the workers and the Arab group concluded a wage agreement . Indeed, an agreement with the  workers was a prerequisite for securing the future of the shipyard.

The chairman of the works council, David Tejera (CCOO), has stressed that the resumption of activity is "important for Zumaia and the region". The mayor of Zumaia , Iñaki Ostolaza, has also expressed his satisfaction and congratulations to the workers on the "effort made". 

"The shipyard has been closed for two years. The workers are looking forward to getting back to work and getting back to normal. They have been fighting for a long time, which makes them tired.
