Overview

• Grassroots union sections from UGT, CC OO, CSIF and USO have announced nationwide strikes at Fertiberia’s plants on June 5–6 and 11–13.
• The unions demand immediate withdrawal of the ERE and presentation of a viable industrial plan to safeguard jobs across Spain.
• Fertiberia attributes the ERE to €100 million in losses over two years and market shifts, but unions highlight Sagunt’s profitability in 2024.
• Local government leaders in Corvera, including Mayor Iván Fernández, have publicly supported the workers’ call for a credible investment strategy.
• The ERE disproportionately affects women, especially at the Avilés plant, where eight of the ten proposed layoffs target female employees.
