Summary

Dow announced a staff reduction in June that will affect 138 employees at its Tarragona operations within the Tarragona petrochemical complex. The Diputació de Tarragona approved a declaration defending jobs at Dow Tarragona and urged recognition of the complex as a Critical Chemical Site by the EU, while calling on regional and national governments to take measures to strengthen chemical competitiveness. The plenary expressed solidarity with the workers affected by Dow's adjustment and linked the institutional move to concerns about continuity of industrial employment in Camp de Tarragona. The session also approved funding for local projects and programs amid the debate over the layoffs.
