1,200 companies and over 170 strike committees have joined the U30

  • In view of the general strike of 30 January, the LAB trade union explained that 170 strike committees have already been set up in the villages, more than in other calls for strike action, and more than 1,200 companies from different areas have joined.

21 January 2020 - 14:59

Mercedes Benz, CAF, Ausolan, Bankoa, Metro Bilbao, Dia, Osasunbidea, Arcelor Mittal, Professors of Public Education, Ikastolas Committees… and there are many organisations that have joined the strike (here some). LAB expects a plural and participatory strike.

“We believe in the community. The working class is reuniting the unity and we are increasingly the people who believe in the value of the struggle,” said the general secretary of the union, Garbiñe Aranburu.

Attempts to disconvene the strike

The Secretary-General has also denounced that employers and political parties and trade unions are attempting to violate the strike "by those who defend the interests of capital". It is a sign that they are nervous, he added.

Pensioners, demonstrations and shocks

On the other hand, the movement of pensioners from Hego Euskal Herria has appeared before the media for demonstrations at 12:00 in Donostia-San Sebastián, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Pamplona/Iruña and Bilbao. Pensioners are expected to take over the head of the demonstrations in Catalonia.

In addition, on 30 January in the afternoon, demonstrations will also be held in the villages and on the eve, between 21:00 and 21:15, sounding allusions will be made.

Not devaluing the strike
Convening a general strike in Hego Euskal Herria for socio-political reasons seeks to paralyze all its activity. For some, the general strike of 30 January has been a success and for others it has been a failure, according to the glasses of each.
