El sindicalismo alternativo toma vuelo con las Inquilinas en dirección a la huelga general
El Sindicato de Inquilinas reclamaba el paro por la vivienda desde hace tiempo, con respaldo de organizaciones laborales de menor tamaño, como CGT. CC OO y UGT dicen que ya manejaban la idea, pero no dieron el paso final hasta el lunes
Alternative unionism is gaining momentum with the Inquilinas, leading to a general strike in the direction of a nationwide walkout, according to a spokesperson for the Inquilinas' union, Alicia del Río. Del Río addressed journalists in Madrid on Wednesday to confirm the agreement for a general strike on November 11th for housing.
She stated, "A new political cycle begins where grassroots unionism, popular power, sets the struggle program and organizational form." Alongside representatives from the CGT, CO.BAS, and Solidaridad Obrera, UGT and CC OO were also set to participate, although confusion caused by differing parties led to their absence at the Madrid press conference (attendance in Catalonia was confirmed).
Del Río emphasized that the strike will be "from the base," highlighting a distinction between certain unions and others. Smaller organizations with fewer representatives in companies have emerged as key players in recent days for their support of the strike, preceding the decision by CC OO and UGT on Monday to take this step.
