The Nanclares Committee of Tubos Reunion rejects the ERE proposed by the insolvency administrator

The Business Committee of Tubos Reunidos Premium Threads (TRPT) in Nanclares de la Oca has rejected the proposal of the Concursal Adminstrador workers to start negotiating an extinctive ERE "as long asthe creditor competition remains open and the sale of the group's production units remains unresolved ", they said.

In a statement, the works council explained that at the last meeting, the Insolvency Agent Adminstrador informed them that TRPT appears only on a subsidiary offer and that, at the moment, "there is no firm interest among buyers" in the factory.

In the Commission's view, this situation requires "intensifying the search for an industrial solution and preventing the continuation of activity from being lost beforethe completion of the process. " "The absence of a firm offer today does not justify ending our future. We demand that all options be exhausted before workers are laid off, "he added.

He has detailed that the Insolvency Administrator has proposed to start negotiating the ERE, although he plans to unveil the sales process  in December, and has proposed, as an alternative, a two-month ERTE. It also warns them that there is no guarantee of payroll collection from November 1:  "We are facing a double uncertainty, the possibility of losing our jobs, and the lack of guarantees about our income as long as they remain to be decided for the future of the company."

For all these reasons, the committee has called for the exhaustion of the possibilities of continuing before the closure of the plant is brought forward, for an active search for an offer that includes the plant and allows for the maintenance of industrial activity and its jobs, for the payroll to be collected from 1 November, for transparency in terms of offers, deadlines and alternatives, and for the maintenance of employment to be prioritised in any employment measure that may arise.

"We call for the continuation of the TRPT to be defended with the same seriousness as the other productive units of the group. We do not accept that the uncertainty of the contest is serving to exclude our factory. The workers are not responsible for this situation. We do not allow our future to be concluded before the end of the sales process, "the Commission said.
