The Minister of Economy and Finance of the Junta de Castilla y León, Carlos Fernández Carriedo, assured this Monday that the Anclaje Foundation is "fully ready" to intervene in the Siro conflict between company and workers "if each of the employers considers its summons opportune”.
However, he stressed that "the basic and fundamental thing" is that at this time a competitiveness agreement can be had, after recalling "the work and the difficulties" that are "raised on the table".
Fernández Carriedo has encouraged the management and the works council to "reach an agreement that will ensure the future of Siro" and that "allows potential investors to carry out that investment." "If this were achieved, we could consider the persistence of Siro and its possible growth in the future," said the counselor, one day after the workers of one of the plants in the Palencia town of Venta de Baños went out to the street supported by a thousand people to protest the closure of this factory required by the viability plan.
