A decision that affects the community of Manlleu
This Wednesday morning, a meeting was held between the management of General Cable, belonging to the Prysmian group, and the company’s workers’ union. In this meeting, the intention to close the Manlleu and Montcada plants was formally communicated due to a reorganization of industrial operations in Spain. This decision directly affects the future of the 350 workers at the Manlleu plant, who will be affected by layoffs.
Negotiations to mitigate the impact of the closure
The management of General Cable has started a period of consultations with the aim of reaching agreements that help reduce the impact of the redundancies. Meetings will be held between all parties, including Manlleu City Council, to address this situation. The General Cable workers’ union is preparing mobilizations and events for this weekend and next weekend.
Reactions and preparations for the future
The Manlleu community is in a state of preparation to face this situation. Both the affected workers and the city council are taking steps to address the challenges posed by the plant’s closure. The coming weeks will be decisive in determining the way forward in the face of this new reality.
