Workers are demanding a minimum monthly wage of 1,000 Euro
12,000 workers in the vegetable preserves industry in the Murcia region are part of 35,000 people nationally who are starting strike action in demand for a minimum wage of 1,000 € and a break time to eat a snack. The strike has been called in the Murcia region for the 28-31 of this month following what unions say has been ‘obstruction’ from the employers in talks to reach a settlement.
UGT union spokesman, Sebastián Serena, said that 176 companies in the Murcia region would be affected by the strike. He noted that 80% of the workers in the sector are women, and that there is an ever-increasing number of immigrant workers.
