Reconverting Ávila into a spare parts and truck parts plant requires a union agreement

The Japanese brand is open to negotiation and the first meetings with the unions have ended with moderate satisfaction in the works council. Nissan's management wants a short negotiation that allows the planned works and the pertinent investments reconvert the Avila production plant into a serial production line for spare parts and truck parts as soon as possible. The company has made it clear that the lack of agreement with the unions would lead to "the closure of the Ávila factory without alternatives."

The Japanese manufacturer has chosen to stop producing light trucks despite the fact that it had promised to move the construction of the NT500 to the Castilian factory. But the drop in sales of professional vehicles in this segment has made the project unfeasible. In return, the Ávila plant will manufacture spare parts for Nissan and also for Renault and will include some references that are currently produced in Russia. The plan would ensure the jobs of the current 471 employees and could even raise the workforce above 500 workers in the coming years (2020-2022).  The underlying union problem is that the workers would be governed by the Renault collective agreement, which supposes a salary decrease of 15% with respect to Nissan salaries. 

To compensate the loss of purchasing power of the workforce,  Nissan is going to offer its employees the difference in emoluments of about 30 months or so and proposes to those who do not accept these new low incentive conditions up to 50 months of compensation. The agreement must be reached quickly because the production of components should begin in 2020.
