The management of the multinational Bridgestone has communicated this Friday to the inter-centre committee
its decision to request a file for temporary suspension of contracts or ERTE for productive reasons
, which will affect all the staff of the four work centers in Spain.
Overall, it would affect some 2,600 workers at the factories in Burgos, Puente San Miguel (Cantabria), and Usánsolo and Basauri (Vizcaya), and it is intended to request, as an alternative to the application of a negative flexibility system for all plants, the last week of the year, a measure rejected by the committee last week.
Union sources have detailed to EFE that the company has limited itself today to sending the committee a letter communicating its intention, since when the ERTE consultation period begins it will deliver more documentation detailing dates and conditions that it proposes to apply for the temporary suspension of contracts.
The management of the Japanese multinational Bridgestone raised a few days ago
its intention to stop production in all plants the last week of the year
, as a result of the stock in the warehouses and the reduction of orders planned for those dates.
The company proposed using the flexibility system, provided for in the current collective agreement, something that was rejected by the committee considering that it would mean reducing payroll by 25% for the first six days of application, 50% for the following six and a 75% for the others up to a total of 21 days.
The
most affected by this proposal was the Cantabrian factory
for which the negative flexibility was requested to be applied from December 21 to 31, and an additional reduction in production from December 1.
In turn, in Burgos, Usánsolo and Basauri, negative flexibility was proposed from December 26 to 31 because sales did not reach the budgeted volume for at least three consecutive months, so that there is an increase in inventories above the level considered. necessary for adequate supply to the market.
Bridgestone's proposal excluded applying the negative flexibility to the finished product warehouses and in Bilbao to the 'banbury' section (mixing materials) and all those others necessary for the normal operation of the plant, as well as the necessary maintenance personnel to take preventive action.
