ELA denounces the mayor of Zestoa to the Labor Inspectorate for the beginning of the construction works of the bullring square
  • The Union Central explains that it is up to the municipal brigade to strike the bullring, but instead "there are those of the Association of Bullfighting Enthusiasts with the help of the Mayor". ELA considers that the right to strike of workers is being violated and makes its complaint available to the Labour Inspectorate.

The festivities of Zestoa will take place within a few weeks and the Zestoa City Hall has commissioned the installation of the bullring. But since July 13, the temporary staff of the City Hall has been on strike, as well as the Head of the Municipal Brigade who is responsible for annually setting up the bullring.

Thus, ELA says that "these assembly tasks are being carried out with the direct support of the mayor of the locality by the bullfighting association" and considers that the Basque Government's mandate on the minimum services provided is being violated, as well as the "right to strike of the workers".

ELA has denounced the mayor of Zestoa and other citizens in the Labor Inspectorate, and they have asked the City Council of Zestoa and "especially the mayor" to "reflect on what is against workers' rights and to reject".

The strike of municipal workers is dragging on. The Zestoa Municipal Government launched on 30 July a note in which it rejected the withdrawal of the negotiating table by the strikers and regretted the "personal disqualifications" against the mayor. "It seems that the aim is to harm the City Hall as much as possible and the citizens are not to blame," he says in the note.
