They have reached an agreement in Maderas de Llodio and put an end to 260 days of strike
The workers of Maderas de Llodio have called off the indefinitestrike that began 260 days ago, after the multinational Garnica, the parent of the company, accepted the latest proposal this morning.
The workers' representative body has announced that it will release the details of the agreement in the next few days through a press conference convened for this purpose.
Last September, Garnica filed an Employment Regulation Dossier (ERE) in Maderas de Llodio, announcing 39 redundancies from a workforce of 151. At that time, workers began an indefinite strike on the grounds that the company planned to move 40% of its production to other plants, and unions filed lawsuits against LEE.
However, in October the LEE was carried out, which finally affected 35 workers who had to leave the company and received compensation, and in February 2026 the TSJPV partially accepted the trade union claims and declared the redundancies inadmissible.
Following the court decision, the management and trade unions returned to the negotiating table, where a few days ago the company made a "final offer", which is what the workers accepted on Monday.
"For the time being, we can only report that the workers have decided to accept the latest proposal on the table," the works council said in a statement, adding that this proposal is a direct consequence of the mobilizations that have taken place in recent months. "The measures and commitments on the table today are the result of the struggle, unity and commitment of those who have defended their jobs and their future," he said.
The Commission stresses that 'this fight was not only in favour of Maderas, but in favour of employment, industry and the future of an entire region of Ayala'.
