191 workers of the German company Al-Ko Condural, will lose their jobs as a result of the closure of their plant in Polinyà (Barcelona). The announcement was made to the predominantly female staff of the plant in May. The company produces wires for the automotive sector and it is a supplier of Ford, Seat and BMW.
