Overview
- The strike was officially registered on January 19 and will cover Euskadi and Navarra on March 17.
- ELA, LAB, Steilas, ESK, Hiru and Etxalde are coordinating the action to press for a region-specific Salario Mínimo Interprofesional.
- Unions say the stoppage is the only option left after what they describe as a blockade by Confebask, CEN and the Basque and Navarre governments.
- On January 20, the Basque High Court (TSJPV) held a hearing on the unions’ complaint that Confebask refused to negotiate the issue at a dedicated CRL table.
- The regional push for a €1,500 floor contrasts with ongoing national talks that have discussed a monthly minimum wage of up to €1,221.
