The Bilbao Workers’ Self-Defence Network has won the victory in a labour dispute. The operator took over the case of the wrongful dismissal suffered by a 22-year-old girl who served as a waitress at the Irish Stones Pub in Deusto, and as reported this Thursday, her boss has agreed to make the corresponding payment.

According to the video released by the developer on social media, Ane had started working at the bar in February, and the contract provided for a three-month trial period. However, on the first day the confinement was initiated, the chief informed him that he had not exceeded the trial period and that he was to be expelled. The worker had already assigned the hours of the Deusto festivities and was suspected. As a result, he contacted the Bilbao Self-Defense Network, with which he launched a campaign against the attitude of the bar demanding payment of the sums due to improper dismissal. After a two-week campaign, the bar owner has paid the worker what he had asked for.

The Bilbao Self-Defense Network has warned that attacks on the working and living conditions of the evicted "have intensified". Faced with this situation, they considered it necessary “to self-defend our interests and our own means”. They have acknowledged that this victory has served them to continue to respond “to the attacks of the capitalist system, organizing self-defense.”
