- At 9:00 a.m. (4 October) the works council met to approve the Basque Government’s proposal or to convene a general vote for all workers. You voted for the first. The strike, which has lasted until the signing of the agreement, has reached 236 days in force.
The decision has been communicated to the local press Aiaraldea.eus, which has answered your questions. Last Friday, the membership of the trade unions with representation in Tubacex took care to approve the proposal. ELA and CC.OO. voted in favour of the agreement, the Independents demanded a general vote and the unions LAB and STAT opposed it.
The vote was very tight: seven representatives of the works council left and six voted against. The CCOO trade union then stated that that small part had raised doubts and showed its readiness to the general vote.
Finally, on 4 October, the general vote was rejected and the Basque Government’s proposal was approved.
Aiaraldea.eus has indicated that workers' representatives have informed the Department of Employment of the Basque Government and have been waiting for the meeting to sign the agreement.
