- The workers were waiting for it to arrive on Monday, as the company was going to make its decision known. And that was what was expected; in the morning the news was received in the first hour: the whole team will be expelled. That is to say, the decision has so far affected 177 workers from the Gipuzkoan plant. Therefore, the workers held a lockdown on Monday night, between 22:00 and 06:00 hours. The day has started with mermaid sound and fire to several tires in the affected area.
The company presented a dossier for dismissing 177 La Naval workers early Monday and the workers showed their disappointment. Arantxa Tapia also said: “The lockdown feels close.” In addition to the company La Naval, over 400 companies operate around the world around the shipyard. But with them it has very high debts, putting another 1,800 jobs in a serious situation.
The workers have carried out the lockdown. In defence of ESK, they have urged the Basque Government to give an answer under the motto “Do not close La Naval; to negotiate with the Basque Government for the employment of Ezkerraldea”. The demonstrators, who have been willing to fight, have announced that they will also be mobilising in the coming days.
