Do not allow layoffs
  • Throughout the Basque Country, there are numerous demonstrations and mobilizations of workers and citizens to maintain employment in private companies. Also in the public sector, especially in health and education, it continues to mobilise to dignify precarious employment, a situation that affects more than 40,000 people.

Tubacexeko langileak protestan (arg.: @jotabe1963)

In the private sector, we can highlight the number of people affected Tubacex, Aernova, M. Torres, ITP-Aero Castings and others. The aeronautical sector also has a great influence in Ipar Euskal Herria, where around 4,000 people work. We must not forget that around these companies there are more small subcontracted companies as suppliers. They want to lay off hundreds of workers and they want to impose contract termination dossiers on them. In addition, they are trying to blackmail and try to reduce wages and allowances. To complete the table: remember that many of these companies have received public money at different times.

Thus, the administrations of the CAV, Navarra and Iparralde cannot look the other way. It is up to you to challenge these dossiers. The crisis exacerbated by the pandemic, which is affecting all sectors and businesses, is not structural. Conjunctural circumstances that require a readjustment of the productive system. As long as this cyclical crisis lasts, companies have other mechanisms that do not require the termination of contracts or the reduction of wages. And you know, as the public administrations also know.

What is more, companies that have received public money should be closely monitored to avoid blackmail, closures or relocations. Capital has everything at stake. Now the pandemic is the excuse and tomorrow there will be other excuses.
