After the strikes on November 28 and 29, this Thursday, December 5, a bus strike has been called in practically all of Spain. However, the CGT union has just announced that it is distancing itself from these strikes in the urban and interurban passenger transport sector, with which the protest is deflating – apparently – considerably.
For now, Workers’ Commissions (CCOO) continues with its call and maintains the strike for December 5 and 9, coinciding with the Constitution Bridge. As announced, the strike will become indefinite starting on December 23 if an agreement is not reached beforehand.
Initially, the unions went on strike due to the rise in accidents among the most veteran workers, demanding that employers ask the Government to include their profession in the repertoire of trades that can anticipate their retirement without there being a reduction in the pension. .
