The miners of Potas de Navarra start closing

50
years ago

7 January 1975,

Naval miners started the lockdown. For two months, the company ' s management had interrupted the work and salary of some 2,000 workers, and 47 workers were able to enter the mines and began a protest. The Civil Guard prevented access to the others, so they conducted daily concentrations at the entrance of the mine. After a week, more than 200 workplaces in Navarre went on a solidary strike and two weeks later the workers ended the closure. Several workers were prosecuted, but the solidary flood broke the judgment.
