The works council of ITP Aero Castings has denounced the situation of the plants of Sestao and Barakaldo. A worker is admitted to Basurto for coronavirus. Another 28 workers are quarantined for disease-related symptoms, of which seventeen have entered quarantine in the last 48 hours. In addition, several workers are on sick leave due to symptoms. Others have asked for job cuts, or have taken holidays.

The committee denounces the management's decision: “We believe this decision is a mistake. It contributes to the massive expansion of Covid-19.” Workers have received “deficiencies and contributions” and have transferred them to management through a receipt: “We do not rule out legal measures in the future.”
