The demonstration, held in front of the company offices on Granvia, brought together nearly 300 professionals. Those affected work at three strategic centers: the spare parts facility in El Prat de Llobregat, the technical center in Zona Franca, Barcelona, and the flexible areas, also located in El Prat.
The protest follows failed negotiations between unions and company management, mediated by the Department of Labor. Employee representatives challenge the economic justification for the layoffs, arguing that the company is not facing local losses but is instead executing a global restructuring that involves moving workloads to countries such as the Netherlands and India.
“"It is not about negative local results, but rather that Nissan is undergoing a global restructuring and is taking our work elsewhere."
According to union sources, the company has confirmed its intention to relocate the plants, limiting negotiations to a potential reduction in the number of layoffs, which currently affects 37% of the workforce. Workers view this measure as a disguised closure of operations.
This situation comes five years after the closure of vehicle manufacturing plants in Barcelona, a process that affected 2,500 people and led to reindustrialization plans with companies such as Ebro and Chery.
