On Tuesday, the indefinite strike began in the company Electroaceros de Pamplona/Iruña, with two workers. According to the LAB trade union, almost the entire workforce has joined the strike. In total, 37 workers in the company, most of them over 50 years of age. "If during all these years this company has made progress, this has been largely due to the effort and dedication of each of them," the union said.

The workers have paid the last five late payrolls, so they are about to collect the highest. Therefore, in this context, the strike has begun. In fact, it seems that the company intends to definitively close the plant, and in this respect, they want to achieve a dignified solution for the workers.

The unions LAB and ELA, which represent workers, have described the management of the company as "bad" in recent years. The company is run by the Astibia family of Pamplona/Iruña, and according to the unions, the company has been left to die. According to LAB, in recent years the trade union representation of workers has on several occasions asked the company to meet with a table to analyse the future of workers. However, he stressed that the company has taken a very different path: "The only solution they have had was to attack the workers," he added. Among these attacks is the attempt to implement an economic FTE while losses were passed on to workers and the implementation of a substantial change that would significantly reduce wages. These two attempts have not been executed, as the former was rejected in the consultation period and the workers managed to stop the second change.

While all this was happening, LAB has denounced that the partner chosen by the Astibia family for the management of the factory was charging more than 80,000 euros a year and that through the company it had dedicated itself to renting a premises owned by it, for an amount of 75,000 euros.
