ELA Announces Three More Strike Days for Basque School Canteens After Three-Day Walkout

The union says talks are stalled over an expired contract with unpaid wage increases.

Overview

  • New stoppages are set for March 10, 11 and 12, following strikes held Tuesday to Thursday this week.
  • The action targets public school dining services across the Basque Country and follows a lack of progress at the bargaining table.
  • Workers demand enforcement of previously agreed pay rises, a review of carers’ duties and schedules, and a lower student-to-monitor ratio.
  • Staff rallied in Vitoria and outside the Basque Government offices in Bilbao to press for movement in negotiations.
  • During the strike, some schools removed packed lunches brought by families under rules barring outside food during canteen hours.
