Tubacex workers receive EUR 3,800 for workers on strike in Cádiz
- A group of Tubacex workers have moved to Cadiz on Tuesday night and will contribute their troops to the city’s resistance box.
Almost 200 workers in Tubacex have made an economic contribution in solidarity with the workers on strike in Cadiz. Thus, EUR 3,800 has been raised to support the protests in the metal sector, the consequences of which are imminent.
The workers in the factories of Aiaraldea started their work on the weekend and on Tuesday night they moved to the Andalusian city. Their intention is that on Wednesday and Thursday they should be in Cadiz and support the protests that are taking place.
236 days strike in Aiaraldea, 8 already in Cadiz
The Tubacex workers served 236 days of strike against redundancies and precariousness and on that road they received the solidarity of workers and entrepreneurs from different places. At the end of the strike, they stressed that they would not forget all the assistance received, especially from the members of the Resistance Fund.
Workers in the metal sector in Cadiz, especially those in small businesses, began an indefinite strike eight days ago in protest at the strike. Protests have affected several parts of the city and incidents have become normal for the police. For example, at the demonstration on Tuesday, the state security forces have taken advantage of balls and gas boats.
In particular, strikers are calling for decent employment. Given that the Consumer Price Index has skyrocketed so far this year, they are calling for a wage hike. In addition, the workers' institutions denounce that job insecurity is very high in factories and workshops in Cadiz and that the agreements are not complied with. In other words, the protests in force are a turning point for the trade unions.
In the province of Cadiz, for example, the unemployment rate stands at 27% and 94% of contracts are temporary. The metal industry holds over 20,000 jobs in this territory and, as in Aiaraldea, the historic trend has been the closure of large companies since the 1980s. The best-known companies in the shipyard disappeared 30 years ago and in the twenty-first century those tied to cars have disappeared.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
