Juan Antonio Sánchez Corchero, president of SEA Empresas Alavesas, has advocated for dialogue as the main path in the face of conflict within the business sector. In his words, "dialogue is always the way," and "permanent conflict never aids social progress." Furthermore, he stressed the need for trade unionism committed to the industrial future, employment, and the viability of companies.

Sánchez Corchero was clear in demanding "a trade unionism that negotiates, that dialogues, and that legitimately defends labor rights, of course, but also understands that without viable companies, there is no possible employment." "Constant confrontation can generate headlines. But it does not generate investment, it does not generate competitiveness, it does not generate a future," he insisted.

The lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, also echoed this message, emphasizing that the Basque business model is based on "mutual commitment." "The challenges we face are too complex to fall into dynamics of confrontation and blockage," he stated.

Ramiro González, Deputy General of Álava, specifically mentioned that Aiaraldea "is suffering particularly from the crisis this year." In response, he highlighted that challenges must be addressed "jointly, by administrations and employers," and that social dialogue is "the Territory's primary challenge" for generating economic activity, companies, and employment.

The Deputy General added that "there is great competitiveness between regions and countries to attract talent, companies, and generate wealth," making it "fundamental to avoid conflict through social dialogue." "This does not mean fewer rights, it means seeking dialogue first," he concluded.
