According to the head of CCOO Industry in Cádiz, Juan Linares, the negotiations have been broken because the employer "has not raised anything" during the meeting called by the Board and they have decided to leave the meeting in a "very irresponsible attitude".

The focus of the conflict is centered on the renewal of the collective agreement, which has been in place since December of last year. increases of 2, 2.5 and 3% requested by the workers' representatives, in addition to the reduction of four hours of work each year, would entail "the disappearance of the industry of Cadiz, which would have to compete with that of other provinces that start of a more advantageous situation ".

megaphone at the protesters in the metal sector

is about the present and the future of the Bay

. In front of the speeches of dispatches, in front of those who put themselves in profile, in front of those who stay in the forms so as not to enter the fund, I show no only all my support, but also my struggle from the role and the trench that I now have to dispute and fight, "said the mayor of Cádiz, who added that" violence is that in Madrid they only listen to us when our land burns tired of endure fatigue ".

"You have my full support. Because you are mine.

Because I am one of yours. For a dignified labor agreement, against the closure of Airbus, for the burden of a job and for our sons and our daughters. Long live the class struggle worker ", ends his open thread in his social network in support of metal workers.
