On 29 July the Departament de Treball de la Generalitat approved by the ERE administrative decision made by Nissan in June to lay off 581 workers at plants in Montcada i Reixach and Zona Franca Barcelona. The Government, in an incomprehensible decision, has not only endorsed and approved the proposed downsizing of the Japanese multinational but has placed the number of people affected by the ERE in a total of 698 workers, of whom 548 workers have been dismissed with finality, while the remaining 150 workers will have the right to be reinstated in the next 18 months if required by the workload covered in the plan industrial company.
From PSUC viu express our strongest condemnation of the decision of the Government while we express our solidarity with the staff of Nissan affected by the ERE. Recall that the Japanese multinational introduced ERE days after signing with the union representatives of voluntary agreement with the option of re-entry in 2012 and publicly stated that no presentation planned no record of employment regulation. At the same time, the multinational has unilaterally breached the February 2009 agreements that established the adoption of social measures such as voluntary redundancies, early retirement and early retirement for those over 55 years and the company's commitment to build two new models, a segment B since 2012 and a van in 2009.
Nissan layoffs show deficits in social and labor government of Catalonia and the lack of industrial and employment policy that serves the interests of the working class and the revitalization of the industrial fabric of Catalonia. In parallel, the measure by the Government is even more irresponsible when it appears that Nissan is one of the most benefit from public subsidies to the automotive sector in March to receive over 100 million euros in state loans.
Specifically, Nissan has received the following grants: 70'9 million for a project investment of 280 million euros in the Zona Franca plant, 23 million for an investment of 34 million euros in Nissan factory in Avila, and 9 million for an investment of 15 million euros in the production center that Nissan has in Cantabria. And do not forget that such aid provided by the central government were conditioned to maintain employment and any companies receiving subsidies perform contract terminations. Is it going to publicly demand the withdrawal of aid to Nissan?. From PSUC viu consider unacceptable the situation and we challenge the central government to enforce the commitments made in the Comprehensive Plan for the multinational automotive front and opposite the European Commission, executive body of the European Union has rejected the return of aid by Nissan.
From PSUC viu call on trade unions and civil society to show solidarity Catalunya actively with the Nissan workers affected by the ERE. Since widows and all PSUC of our membership will support the group of dismissed and providing support for protests to be called. An attack on the working class of this size can not go unpunished.
Barcelona, \u200b\u200bAugust 3, 2009.
