The LAB syndicate has denounced in a statement the occupational death in the company Zorroza waste management and has made known the working conditions inside this plant.

The union considers that the workers in Zorroza are forced to work 10 hours a day and that the company does not offer the workers all the necessary personal protective equipment. LAB has added that “wages are low” and “work rates are very high”, and has denounced that there is no signing system, that cleaning facilities is inadequate and that workers do not receive any training in occupational risk prevention.

Attacks

In addition, they have denounced that workers are subjected to verbal and continuous ill-treatment by the company's management. They have also indicated that an episode of physical aggression has also occurred.

The union has therefore stressed the need to publicly denounce "the situation of helplessness suffered by plant workers". “We consider it essential to call on public institutions not to repeat themselves for lack of measures. Institutions need to put in place effective monitoring, control and monitoring measures.”

LAB has stated that the precariousness in Aiaraldea is a kind of "epidemic" and has stressed that the workers of Northern Mechanical Pipes are on indefinite strike and that the future of the workers of Garobel is also at risk.
