Details Announced of Next Week's Public Sector Strike
Train drivers’ stoppages and a nationwide walkout are set to cancel services and delay commuters as unions press housing and wage demands.
- Spain's two largest trade unions, UGT and CCOO, have called a nationwide 24-hour general strike for Wednesday November 11 to protest the country's severe housing crisis.
- Public outrage over the eviction of an 87-year-old woman in Madrid, who had lived in her home for seven decades, exposed mounting pressure on long-term tenants amid soaring rents and gentrification.
- Widespread travel disruption is expected across Spain, potentially impacting flights, trains, and schools; this marks the first joint action by UGT and CCOO in 14 years.
- While employers must maintain minimum service levels, participation is a fundamental right; workers face salary deductions, yet according to CCOO, the "company is prohibited from monitoring your activity on that day."
- Union leaders scheduled the walkout for Wednesday November 11, occurring just two days before the official start of the election campaign, to avoid potential legal challenges as the electoral process formally begins.
