Trade unions call for a general strike in Spain for the first time in 14 years

Trade unions in Spain called a general strike for the first time in 14 years on November 11. A hundred employees from CC.OO. and UGT blocked the entrances of Mercabarna in Barcelona to prevent access to night shifts. The measure reflects the unions' intention to exert pressure for their labor demands. The general strike aims to bring visibility to various claims and is expected to significantly affect the operation of services and businesses in the country.
