In addition, they will deliver the 3,800 euros collected between the Tubacex workers for the resistance fund to support the protests and those on strike who may need help.
A delegation of workers from Tubacex is on its way to Cádiz, to support the thousands of people in the metal sector on strike for a few days.
The delegation also has a second mission, to deliver the 3,800 euros collected from 200 staff members voluntarily to the Cádiz workers’ resistance fund.
The delegation had left for Andalusia at night, but a breakdown in their vehicle when they were passing through Valladolid forced them to return to Amurrio. There they have changed vehicles and have started the trip again.
Sorry, but in #Tubacex we do not know how to live otherwise.
If anyone thought that after having managed to demolish the ERE, having achieved the reinstatement of our colleagues and we were going to surrender, we sincerely regret the disappointment.#StrikeMetalCadiz#StrikeMetal pic.twitter.com/sDDinEkflS– Tubacex – Alava Workers Steelworks (@TubacexW) November 24, 2021

The clashes between the Police and the pickets and protesters are being very intense throughout the province of Cadiz, with several protesters and officers injured.
