The works council at Nissan’s plant in Ávila, Spain, has announced a series of protests in December over the lack of progress in negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement. After a meeting Thursday morning, the union representatives said the discussion “was completely unproductive,” with management presenting no new proposals and asking workers to suggest solutions.
The main disagreement centers on flexibility measures, which the council insists should come with compensation. As a result, the council approved a protest schedule starting Tuesday, December 2, with a gathering at the plant’s former main entrance. A second rally is planned for December 9 near Human Resources, followed by a one-hour strike outside the factory on December 18. Union leaders hope management will accept their proposal to avoid the need for these actions.
