• Indusria: Car manufacturing in Spain grows in summer by not closing Seat Martorell
  • Judgment procés.Torra negotiated with the members of the CDR the road cuts of Holy Week

Seat has decided to stop the Martorell factory during the afternoon of today and the entire morning because of the riots, road cuts and the country strike called by the CDR and seconded by the Generalitat for tomorrow, in response to the ruling issued on Monday by the Supreme Court.

The Seat factory in Martorell will stop its three lines for five shifts in a technical strike. This unemployment means force majeure, so the company will bear the cost, so that workers will collect their salary, with the exception of some bonuses.

The technical stop will cause Seat to stop manufacturing 3,500 cars that, according to company sources, could be recovered by the end of the year, with the flexibility measures included in the current collective agreement. What the company does not say is how many days of country strikes could be recovered with such flexibility measures.

From Seat they insist that the company "has followed closely the evolution of the situation in days gone by. After checking the high risk that the mobilizations under way pose for the mobility of employees in the surroundings of Barcelona and for the supply of materials , the management and the unions of Seat have agreed to suspend the production shifts of the Martorell plant from this afternoon until tomorrow night. "

The company adds that "our responsibility as a company is also to protect the people who work in Seat. For this reason, we have made this decision solely and exclusively to prevent them from being blocked in their transfers between their jobs and their homes."

In any case, Seat's headquarters will remain open for all those administration and service workers not linked to the production line who want to go to their job.

Seat's majority unions "have not adhered to the strike called for October 18". Seat calls the strike "country strike" of the independentistas.
