ULMA and Orona have decided to leave Mondragon, supported by a large majority of partners
- 80% of ULMA’s partners have supported the departure of the Corporation and with broad support Orona: It votes for 70%.
More than half a dozen people have spoken at the ULMA assembly in the Plaza de Toros Illumbe in San Sebastian, where long speeches have been made, among which some debate has emerged, according to local sources to ARGIA. Company partners and workers’ retirees have shown their willingness to stay in the corporation if the company’s economy will worsen in the future. However, as expected, the majority of the workforce voted in favour of the exit, as the company would work better out of the large group. Mondragon’s hard communication campaign has not borne fruit.
80% of the 2,800 voting partners voted for the exit, which was voted by nine ULMA sites.
In Orona, about 1,700 members attended the headquarters of Hernani and in just over 15:00 in the afternoon it was known that 70% voted for the departure.

We insist that we are no longer a partnership or a collective. We went, yeah. We didn't have a collective way of being activist transmaribibollos (no, we're not very supportive of individual activism). We leverage the partnership to bill.
