Indefinite strike at Acerinox: workers demand a salary increase and oppose temporary EREs

It is worth remembering that this Thursday the Extrajudicial Conflict Resolution Service of Andalusia (Sercla) hosted a new

meeting between workers and the company

that ended without agreement.

As indicated by the company in a statement, Acerinox stated that the strike committee presented "cannot be considered a valid interlocutor" in the negotiation of the IV Collective Agreement of the

Palmones Plant

, since "it does not respect the representativeness or proportionality of the works council, so it would not be possible to reach valid agreements".

It should be remembered that the strike was initially called by the

Steel Workers Association (ATA) union

, which chairs the works committee made up of four other unions such as CCOO, UGT, USO and Coordinadora. The proposal to go on strike was supported by the workers with 1,313 votes in favor, 193 against, 14 blank votes and three null votes.

Among the

points of disagreement

on the part of the workers are the salary revision, the production bonus, availability, flexibility, versatility, partial retirements and promotions.
