After the slate company Irosa-Samaca signed an agreement with the community of Montes Portela-Trigal, They arrived last Tuesday, November 14th, workers and the CIG union responded immediately. Paco Moral, secretary of the Galician union, acknowledged that Slate president Rogelio López personally informed him of the situation on the same day after the signing, but said “Or at least all that has to be done is lower and shake down the workers eCorporation Committee”.
The president’s response to the call for attention was succinct: “I told Paco I told the committee. everybody knows. We did not communicate with the workers one by one because CIG had all the information. We agree that everyone is on board with this message; We have other centers and it’s not a matter of stopping the whole company and having everyone come here so I can explain to them things they already know. ”
In view of the impending decision of the Xustiza High Court for or against Xunta de Galicia or the Forest Community, Paco Moral is convinced that “they won’t tell us everything and they won’t hide something” This could damage tenure; we’ve been going through trials, conflicts and more lawsuits since 2014, and since then there’s still no explanation for what happened. “
