Beach lifeguards in Gipuzkoa start an indefinite strike on 14 August
- The ELA union has called for a strike “after meetings with first responders on Wednesday.”
Sorosleek Donostian egindako elkarretaratzeetako bat. Argazkia: ELA
After three months of negotiations and three days of strike, it was decided to organize an indefinite strike. The wage increase isn’t the only thing they’re asking for, they want more room for rest, as they have 20 minutes of ten hours to eat.
On Wednesday they made a valuation of the strike that was organized from July 29 to 31 and after that it comes to go a step further in the struggle: to call it an indefinite strike from August 14. The first responders have been very critical of the minimum services (80%) established by the Basque Government during the previous three-day strike.
