- The workers in Tubacex, who are on an indefinite strike to maintain their jobs, have begun a walk from Aiaray to Vitoria-Gasteiz, which will arrive this Friday morning at the doors of the Basque Parliament. Along the way, a warm endorsement of citizenship is being received.
Tubacex workers have started a march with the aim of reaching the Alavesa capital on the same day as the Employment Regulation Dossier (ERE) entered into force. The previous day, Wednesday, the pickets and barricades of fire have been repeated, as have the rest of the 64 days of indefinite strike.
The strikers will travel north of Álava on the first day of strike and are receiving the applause of many people in the towns they pass through, such as Zuia, as you can see in this video spread through social networks:
So they received #Tubacex workers from Zuia citizenship 😍

Concerning the conclusions of the implementation of the ERE, the Works Council states that "no change has taken place". In their words, they will continue as usual, without distinction between the redundant workers and the others. They want no traumatic layoffs.
After crossing the Gorbea area, the workers will spend the night in Gopegi and on Friday they will resume the "March of Dignity" at 5:30 a.m. from the Arriaga Gate in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
