The Compact Steelworks of Bizkaia (ACB) of Sestao, of the group ArcelorMittal, will stop its production next Wednesday, 7 from December, and will resume in January, as EITB Media has learned.
Although at first the intention of the company was to stop on December 8, finally it will do so a day before.
Both the company and the workers’ committee had already announced at the beginning of November that such a closure would take place, without a specific date having been set.
During this time, maintenance and remodeling work will be carried out on the second continuous casting line, taking advantage of the high cost of electricity, and the company defends that the stoppage is due to the need to carry out some work and to the the rise in energy costs.
However, representatives of UGT, CC. OO., LAB and ELA, members of the committee, assured that the stoppage was due to the union’s rejection of “organizational modifications” proposed by the company.
