Spain general strike: hospitality seeks fee cut
Responsible for this content: Frank Menze
Spain’s general strike on 11 November could leave hospitality businesses out of pocket: SOS Hostelería wants the government to cut self-employed contributions to offset any losses. In a statement issued in Madrid, Spain, on Monday, 9 November, the business group called the strike “political”. It also threatened legal action against unions if pickets, in its view, stop staff getting to work or disrupt normal business.
The group’s president, Rafael Asensio, said camps in the centres of many Spanish cities had badly hurt nearby businesses. He said the camps appeared to be linked to housing and criticised the fact that they were being tolerated.
