Tubos Reunidos Works Council Rejects 301-Job Layoff Plan as Talks Continue

The Amurrio committee rejects the plan outright, with a Monday assembly to weigh an open-ended strike.

Overview

  • Negotiations resumed in Bilbao, where the company tabled a second improvement to its ERE proposal.
  • Hundreds of employees gathered outside the Palacio Euskalduna during Thursday’s meeting to oppose the dismissals.
  • The collective layoff plan targets 301 positions, with 274 at Amurrio and 27 at Trapagaran.
  • Work stoppages are scheduled through March 9, the final day of the consultation period set for the talks.
  • Despite the council’s stance, the outcome remains undecided as workers have not publicly endorsed or accepted revised terms.
