Bilbobus workers will decide on Thursday whether UGT, CCOO and USE accept the conditions agreed with the company Biobide. Meanwhile, after several weeks, the indefinite strike has been "suspended", according to the company.
Bilbobus workers have been on an indefinite strike since 9 April, but since last year they have been continuously stopping, and mobilizations because the management has repeatedly "violated" what the agreement establishes, "with the complicit silence of the Bilbao City Council," the works committee said.
Biobide counts in Bilbao with 44 bus lines arranged or in concession and counts for the provision of this public service with a team of almost 700 workers. Trade unions accuse him, among other things, of not complying with court rulings, of not putting all staff on the full-time job market and of having the "frozen" agreement since 2021.

These weeks have met on several occasions with the management of the company, the last on 9 May, but have risen from the table without consensus. Now, UGT, CCOO and USO have signed a pre-agreement at the negotiating table on Tuesday.
ELA: "Purchasing power is not guaranteed"
The ELA trade union, represented on the Bilbobus staff, does not see with "good eyes" the economic conditions agreed by the other trade unions.
It says that "workers will not be guaranteed purchasing power", because the agreement does not contain wage increases with the annual CPI, moreover, "it will depend on the wage increase of the public service established by the laws of Madrid", the Abertzale union said. Thus, UGT, CCOO and USO accuse the company of "giving away those contents" after more than 50 days of strike.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.
