Four employees had to be treated at the hospital following the morning attack by the Ertzaintza on striking metal workers in Bizkaia. Like every day, the workers have concentrated on the workshops convened by the unions, but this time the police have started fighting a piquet, being in front of Pekos Fabrication in the Bildosola polygon of Artea.

The images on the network show that at least one person has been thrown to the ground and hit with other forces:

LAB reports that among the people who have had to attend there are two leaders of that union.

For its part, the Department of Security of the Basque Government has disseminated the note through news agencies, and when they have been identifying a striker according to his version to justify the aggression, one of the police officers has been beaten, as he stressed Naiz.eus, even though it is not seen in the images. The unions CCOO, LAB, UGT, ESK, CGT and CNT have concentrated before the Sabin house in Bilbao to denounce the aggression in the afternoon.

On the third day of strike the tension has skyrocketed and since the morning there have been fights due to the Ertzaintza's strong action against the picetes, according to witnesses. In Igorre, for example, police officers discover a petsone.

Hamaika Telebista explains that the workers have moved in front of the Ormazabal factory, which owns the FVEM employer. The police have allowed only two members of the workshop strike committee to report on the mobilizations.

ELA meets with FVEM headquarters and stresses that the strike is having a very wide impact. The unions CCOO, LAB, UGT, ESK, CGT and CNT have made a very large mobilization in Basauri, according to which the strike follow-up is 85%. Two new stops are expected on Thursday and Friday.

New strike to stop Mercedes-Benz production

As in the previous strike cycle, the Bizkaia metal strike can disrupt the production of the Mercedes-Benz factory in Vitoria. The News Journal of Alava reports that the Gestamp, supplier of the Vitoria-Gasteiz plant, cannot guarantee that it can meet the demand with the material contained in its stock.

"The situation is very serious, because it will be inevitable because it will lead us to the activity of our main customer," explains Gestamp to Mercedes-Benz, according to this newspaper.
