A group of workers atthe Tubos Reunidos plant in Amurrio have called for a referendum on whether or not to continue the indefinite strike .
The indefinite strike was called by the Works Council with the supportof therepresentatives of ELA, LAB and ESK , who have 14 representatives out of 21, while CCOO and UGT voted against and from the outset were in favour of the decision being put to a referendum.
According to trade union sources, the Works Council has receivedby fax the proposal to call a referendum, including the call for a general assembly on 7 May to discuss the issue.
The Tubos Reunidos Collective Agreement states that such an initiative requires the protection of a quarter of the workforce. In this case, 235 signatures have been collected — there are about 900 workers in the Amurrio factory — so they would cross that barrier.
ELA has already advanced that the request to convene a general assembly is not legal.
On the other hand, earlier this week it became known that the management of Tubos Reunidos does not rule out the applicationfor the voluntary creditor competition, as it has not obtained new funding or strategic alliances aimed at boosting the group's activity.
