Overview
- Nissan, which on Monday gave unions a technical report at the Garrigues law firm, opened the 30‑day talks required for an ERE, Spain’s collective layoff process, covering 211 workers in Catalonia.
- El Prat’s spare‑parts hub would lose about 90% of its 122 jobs, which unions say could leave the site on the brink of closure.
- The plan also proposes 86 exits at the Zona Franca technical center and 15 in functional areas such as human resources and prevention.
- Union groups SIGEN‑USOC, UGT, and CCOO refused to recognize the start of consultations, citing formal flaws in the company’s prior notices and European‑level discussions.
- A meeting under the Catalan Department of Labour is scheduled for Thursday, and the company links the cuts to its Re:Nissan overhaul targeting 900 reductions in Europe and up to 20,000 globally after forecasting nearly €3 billion in losses.
