The operators of the logistics center of Trapagaran (Bizkaia) continue to fight on the Amazon. The stops resume this week with three-and-a-half hours a day from 06:00 to 09:30 hours until Saturday. Workers in this way will demand improvements in their working conditions, which the company continues to give up.

On Monday, the operators of the Trapagaran plant in Bilbao (Bizkaia) were mobilized. During the months of January, February and March, the strike continued in defence of their working conditions. In particular, there have been five arrests in the last three months. The strike also took place in the last Christmas, resulting in 11 strikes since the end of 2022.

The centre of Trapagaran has 125 salaried workers who are responsible for distributions throughout Bizkaia and the many in Álava, Gipuzkoa, Burgos and Cantabria. They have been fighting for an agreement to improve working conditions of misery for over a year, but Amazon continues to reject all proposals to improve working conditions.

Violation of the right to strike and unfortunate working conditions

In recent Christmas they reported that the company was violating their right to protest and strike. Against workers’ rights, Amazon hired twice as many of its own staff for strike days: it made 40 temporary hiring to replace logistics strikers at Christmas. In addition, the company sent threat messages to operators via Whatsapp and email, indicating that it would initiate sanctioning procedures.

The workers in the Valle de Trapagan have once denounced that the conditions of the workers hired directly by Amazon, both the logistics and the outsourced, are miserable. Among other things, they have very low wages (they are subject to a minimum withholding tax on payroll, which finite wages are higher than natural wages), long hours, additional hours, high work rates, etc.
