First Assessment of Common Lives Center: Strike is getting a "broad track"

  • The Denon Bizitzak Erdigunea platform has started the day with strength and is feeling the influence of the general feminist strike on the different roads, companies and services of the Basque Country. In the early morning, dozens of demonstrations have been organized from the village and neighbourhood strike committees, taking roads, closing roads, preparing breakfasts and making information pickets.

The Denon Bizitzak Erdigunea platform says that the general feminist strike is having "broad monitoring". However, it is important to note that this is a "call that goes beyond the stoppages". In the first document sent in the morning it says: "Care tasks are essential to support life, but do not have the political, economic or social recognition that corresponds to them. The impact of the strike today focuses on a broader perspective, focusing on all those who are working on sustaining life. Here we find a paradox that these women who cannot go on strike will not be counted in the data of those who have gone on strike because they are performing surveillance tasks, have no right to strike or have been subjected to abusive services". Thus, in addition to the strike, there will be other kinds of initiatives throughout the day in different places.

These are the first follow-up data of the strike released by Denon Bizitzak Erdiokoa:

In the public sector, continuity is being "significant". Examples below: In Eusko Tren and Metro, for example, continuity is being very extensive, working only minimal services; it affects the 600 public schools; in cooking and cleaning it seems that continuity is "very extensive" and many kitchens will be closed; in children's schools, universities and ikastolas in general, the monitoring is broad.

In Gipuzkoa, almost all municipalities have joined the strike in a widespread manner, both directly recruited and subcontracted personnel. In the votes of the previous days he joined the personal strike of the City Council of Irura, Anoeta, Mutriku, Aretxabaleta, Azpeitia, Ordizia, Oñati, Arrasate, Orio, Urretxu, Tolosa, Bergara and Beasain, among others. Despite not providing concrete data for Bizkaia and Álava, the platform expects extensive monitoring.

The monitoring of the strike in the EITB group is being extended, so the minimum services on public radio and television are ongoing. In addition, there are strikes in many other media, such as ARGIA, Berria, Hala Bedi, Pikara or others.

Minimum services impeding strike

As for the minimum services, the platform denounces that the continuity of the strike in the Social Welfare and Health services is being "very conditioned". To mention a few services, virtually no worker has been able to strike at night shifts: "Thousands of workers have been denied the right to strike, in many services, when the minimum services are 100%." In residences and day centers, reality is the same.

The industry is also on strike, particularly in Gipuzkoa

A large part of the workers in Gipuzkoan companies have decided to strike after having voted on the boards. Production is fully halted at: Indar (Beasain), Arcelor Mittal (Bergara), CIE Automotive, GKN or Bellota (the three of Legazpi), Polmetase (Arrasate), Mondragon Assembly (Arrasate), Natra Zahor (Oñati), SNA Europe (Irún), Peaztia. Continuity is being "very high" in the CAF companies of Beasain and Irún. In addition, the metro and the TAV are stopped. The minimum service has also affected the sector, inter alia, road maintenance.

In Bizkaia, the strike particularly affects the industry of Lea Artibai and Durangaldea. Companies such as Microdeco or ACT Plastics cease their activity. The incidence has also been noted throughout Bizkaia, with companies such as Lucart de Kadagua and Cementos Lemona. In the case of Álava, we should highlight the incidence in Vitoria-Gasteiz of companies such as DHL and Ferrovial, with important stops throughout the industrial environment. In Ayala, the strike is having a special impact on companies such as Amurrio Ferrocarriles, JEZ Sistemas or Artiach. In Navarra, the continuity of the strike in the industrial sector has been "different" and "has had more impact on the companies of the industrial round of Pamplona". And it's that pickets have been made in the polygon Arazuri Orkoien and the City of Innovation. In Iparralde and Sakana continuity has been more important, highlighting companies such as Magotteaux and Torraspapel.

Private, especially in subcontracting

The general feminist strike in private services has had a different follow-up and its impact is being noted mainly in administrative subcontracting. Sports clubs (sports clubs in Bilbao, Erandio or Barakaldo), school canteens (Berango College, Atxuri College, Ermua Brotherhood, Zabala College in Algorta, etc. ), gardening (Basauri gardening), cleaning (Basauri City Hall, Sarriko or Ikastola Artxandarte de Bilbao), etc. Higher incidence in Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia.

In Navarra, the strike is closely monitored in feminized sectors such as cleaning and school canteens. They highlight the impact of the company Ausolagun, the largest in the sector in Navarra. They are also on strike in the trade sector, especially textiles and footwear, highlighting the continuity of Tendam and H & M. In the field of food trade, Eroski has had a significant influence. Other sectors with more than average continuity are sports and cultural management and subcontracted companies to maintain the green areas of the City of Pamplona.

When referring to a final sector, the platform highlights the large area centres (Alcampo, etc. ). Also in Gipuzkoa the continuity of the strike is being high in some significant hotels, in subcontracted cleaning (cleaners of the Meka Professional School of Elgoibar, in the Urola IES of Azpeitia or in the Urola IES of Bergara) or in gardening (e.g. Hondarribia) and sports like the Polideportivo de Hondarribia. It will remain closed).
