It has been more than twenty days from the furnace stopped production of Lorca's Holcim, explained that as the Director General of Holcim Lorca, José Nat, and the Director General of Human Resources Holcim, Feliciano Gonzalez , at a meeting held on 16 February with the committee, could still take all this in 2009 and probably around the upcoming 2010.

At this point, on Monday 23 February, took place in Madrid another encounter between Feliciano Gonzalez and major trade unions, UGT and CCOO, which addressed issues relating to the present and future of every business the firm has spread throughout the Spanish territory.

At all times, both of which union were in the expectation that the company submit a detailed feasibility plan and at the end of the meeting, they found not only the absence of this plan but, the only measures which have at Holcim proposed, was the lowering of wages for workers and increasing their working hours.

"Measures unacceptable," said today the Secretary General of the Federation of Metal, Construction and Allied Workers (MCA) of UGT Murcia, Juan José Pérez Manzanera, "which broke all our hopes that Holcim fulfill his word, giving us a plan feasibility conditions. "

"Moreover, he continued," was also canceled the meeting we had scheduled for Thursday, February 26, so we want to state our opinion about this company is changing significantly because so far, we considered that it was a signature serious and who cared about their employees but in this process is leaving much to be desired and is playing psychologically with all workers. "

Given what happened, MCA-UGT Murcia still does not understand what the real plans for the cement company Holcim has at its factory in Lorca, where we remember, its workforce has stopped producing and are carrying out cleaning and maintenance .
