- On Monday, the Ertzaintza hit the strikers of Alconza de Berango, who have completed 57 days of indefinite strike. The plant belonging to the Irizar Group, managed by the company Norgestion, has started to turn on the machines taking advantage of the workers who are not on strike. The number of vans in the Ertzaintza that were outside the street has hit the workers who protested at the door.
Journalist Iker Rincón Moreno reported in Hirukan that last February the Irizar Group’s management presented a ere (ere) for the Alconza plant in Berango, which would result in the dismissal of 38 people, 40% of the workforce.
The workers have already laid off 25 people, but they have decided to continue the strike until all the parties rejoin the call.
@jerkoreka Thank you all the PNV for your cooperation when a cooperative from Euskal Herria has destroyed IRIZAR GROUP, the ALCONZA plant from Euskal Herria and made 25 redundancies. What cooperative model is IRIZAR? Have you set the PNV as an example on so many occasions? pic.twitter.com/xhtnMtkaeP
