On Wednesday, thousands of people took to the streets to denounce the gravity of the socio-economic situation in which Aiaraldea is situated. Aiaraldea Hedabideak took the opportunity and spoke to the chairman of the Tubacex Works Council, Edu Ibernia, to discuss the situation.

In fact, last Tuesday the leadership of the Tubacex group pointed out that the follow-up to the strike calls into question the future of the factories in the region. The origin of this statement was the trade unions' refusal to accept the company's proposal.

Ibernia responded that these threats are part of the company’s strategy to break the ongoing strike. According to the chairman of the Works Council, the management intends to avoid the trials to be held in June, taking advantage of the fact that 110 days of unemployment has been overcome, which has generated nervousness and tension.

Also, the ELA representative was very critical of another element that the directors commented on. In principle, the leaders of Tubacex accused the unions of not discussing with the workers the follow-up to the strike. "All the unions have discussed the leadership offer and we have all told you not unanimously. There has been total consensus and each has shared the decision with its affiliates and affiliates. The Directorate should assume the responsibilities assigned and not those of the trade unions. In fact, if he wishes, he can end the strike, if the layoffs are disbanded. It's very simple.
