The meeting started at 10:30 AM, with the multinational's executives arriving at the factory an hour earlier. They entered in a bus, protected by the Ertzaintza, passing over a red carpet laid by the striking workers on the bridge, to shouts and whistles.

The next 24 hours will be particularly significant in the evolution of the Tubos Reunidos strike. Indeed, an assembly and vote on the strike have been called for nine o'clock tomorrow morning at the same location, awaiting the workers' decision.
