I think they'll be discussing the fact that they can't ... and the abattoir actually cannot continue ...

The Tenerife Cabildo has reached agreement today with the abattoir workers to resolve the situation and ensure the future of the business. Tenerife President Carlos Alonso thanked everyone concerned for the efforts put into reaching the accord, and committed the Cabildo to a greater effort in 2014. Consejero insular de Agricultura, Ganadería y Pesca, José Joaquín Bethencourt, finalized the details in meetings with workforce representatives, and said that the Cabildo would work to cover the deficit and reestasblish the rhythm of renovations at the installation. As part of the agreement, six delivery workers from the abattoir will be redeployed in external businesses, contracts which will be possible through the Cabildo's mediation, and will later be reincorporated into the abattoir's workforce.
