The employees will have to decide whether or not to support — with two options: “agree yes” “agree no” – the provisional agreement on the agreement reached by the company’s management and CC. OO., UGT, Ekintza and PIM (union majority).

The unions for their part ELA, LAB and ESKwho, among other things, reject the preliminary agreement because “salary increases are not linked to the CPI and purchasing power is lost”, have called on the staff to vote “no”.
