Spain - General strike called for 29 September - June 21, 2010

Following the public sector strike on 8 June, the main union confederations have called for a general strike on 29 September in protest at the government plans for public spending cuts and labour law reforms. This is the date of the ETUC’s European-wide mobilisation with its key demands of “No cuts, more growth.” The Spanish unions have other action planned in the meantime with mobilisations in the regions on 30 June and then in Madrid on 9 September.
