The strike call will remain but the company committee will decide whether to second it or not after hearing the latest proposal from the management

The works council wants to hear the latest offer from the management of the Mercedes plant in Vitoria. The meeting is scheduled, it is Tuesday and he will not hesitate to press the 'strike button' if he does not convince what the directives place on the negotiating table.

In fact, the nationalist unions, ELA, LAB and ESK have already announced that they will maintain their strike call for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. However, this Monday the CCOO spokesman in the company committee, Roberto Pastor, was somewhat more conciliatory.

In statements to Europa Press, he assured that "just as progress has been made" in some aspects, those responsible for the Alava plant could be willing to take "a leap" in matters related to flexibility in such a way that they can be perceived as " enough” for the template.

It specifically refers to the flexibility proposal that the management has made and that includes the controversial sixth night that has sparked the protests. The company linked to the fact that these new working conditions included in the negotiation of the new agreement, a change to ensure an investment of 1.200 million euros that would guarantee the workload, and therefore, the continuity at the Vitoria plant.

Its conditions that the unions consider "unacceptable" and that have triggered weeks of protests such as have not been lived in the company for a long time. The strike days called at the end of June even managed to stop production. The call for this Wednesday also coincides with a visit by Lendakari, Iñigo Urkullu, to Mercedes' management in Germany to talk, precisely, about the investment for the Vitoria plant.
