Iñigo Urkullu has inaugurated the new factory of the Smurfit Kappa Nervión paper mill in Iurreta and has chosen “to try to provide more opportunities for reconciliation, continuous training or professional development.”
The acting lehendakari, Inigo Urkulluhas maintained that “improving the quality of jobs” will be “potentially one of the central challenges of the coming years”, and has opted for “improving people’s working conditions every day”, something that is already “being done” and provides more opportunities for reconciliation, continuing education or professional development.
Urkullu, accompanied by councilor Arantxa Tapia, attended this morning the inauguration of the new waste management and recovery plant of the Smurfit Kappa Nervión paper mill in Iurreta (Bizkaia).
During his speech, the Lehendakari emphasized this “without a strong industrial fabric there is no progress”, adding that this requires “continuous improvement”. According to him, “the strategic bets” of companies such as Smurfit Kappa and public entities have promoted growth and significantly reduced the unemployment rate. “Today in Euskadi there are more than a million people working and contributing,” he noted.
Urkullu recalled the words of a Basque businesswoman who defended that “op people should be paid well for their work, and not just in a dignified manner‘; a phrase that, as he admitted, “stuck in his head.”
