The call comes after the CCOO, LAB and UGT unions, the majority at the Bizkaia metal negotiating table, requested this past Monday the mediation of the Basque Government in the dispute over the renewal of the agreement.

The Department of Labor and Employment of the Basque Government has summoned the metal unions of Bizkaia and the employers’ association FVEM to a meeting this coming Monday, the 16th, according to union sources.
The call comes after the CCOO, LAB and UGT unions, the majority at the Bizkaia metal negotiating table, requested this Monday the mediation of the Basque Government to try to unblock the negotiation of the Bizkaia Metal agreement.
After this request for mediation, the FVEM employers assured that it would also be accepted, although they stated that they had not received any formal proposal. ELA, for its part, believes that the negotiation should remain at the official table, although it has shown its willingness to participate in the meetings that are called.
Finally, this Thursday the Basque Government has sent a call to all parties to hold a meeting next Monday at the headquarters of the autonomous Executive in Bilbao starting at three in the afternoon.
Sources from CCOO Euskadi have indicated that the union majority, made up of this union, UGT and LAB, will attend the meeting with a “negotiating spirit” because, from the beginning, they have opted for negotiation.
ELA has also confirmed its presence for this Monday, since it considers that they should be at the meetings “in which the conditions of the metallurgists are negotiated.”
