ELA has ensured that the delegates of Reunited Tubes in Trapagaran "no longer represent the union"

ELA and LAB continue to demand an industrial project to ensure the future of the plant.  UGT and CCOO have denounced the tension that has been created between union representatives and in the workforce.

The case of Tubos Reunidos has created an internal crisis inthe ELA union . contrary to the opinion of the union, the representatives of the Trapagaran plant have been "in favour of the management approach", so ELA has stated in a statement published this Friday 0 that these delegates "no longer represent theunion " .

The union wanted to make it "very clear" that the future of this plant "does not go through redundancies, but through an industrial project that will lead the disastrous management of recent years."

For its part, the LAB union has said that "dignity, coherence and class struggle" have prevailed in this matter in the face of "blackmail, threat, fear and possibility."

The union has pointed out that the company has tried from the outset to "impose its road map without opening a real debate on industrial alternatives." It has also described as "particularly serious" and "irresponsible" statements by Industry Advisor Mikel Jauregiwhen asked "who is the brave man" who invests in Tubos Reunidos.

LAB has called for "unity and mobilization" and recalled the indefinite strike called since Sunday. "The conflict continues because nothing has been resolved and the ERE is a real threat to workers and the industrial future."

CC.O. and UGT have denounced disrespect.

Meanwhile, the Workers 'Commissions union has lamented that not all workers have been able to vote in a referendum on the latest offer on the ERE and has denounced the 'climate created by some with great interest, with threats, insults and unfounded disqualifications'.

CC.O. sources have explained that in Amurrio, unlike in Trapagaran, the final offer of all workers could not be voted on because of "opposition from other unions." "We would have ratified or accepted what would have come out of that General Assembly," they have confirmed.

As the negotiating period has ended without agreement, CC.OO. has stressed that uncertainty prevails among the staff affected by the file because "it is not clear under what conditions s will be released."

Finally, UGT Euskadi wanted to highlight the "enormous effort" made by its representatives in the negotiations to "ensure the future of activity and the maintenance of jobs, betting on giving the staff the last word".

The union has explained that all this has occurred in a context of "logical tension, with situations that have exceeded the limits of respect and disagreement."

However, it states that the trade union representation has acted "taking into account the context and circumstances, trying to convey in the best possible way the will and feeling of the affiliation it represents, as well as the main objective of protecting employment".
