Vitoria-Gasteiz's gardeners have been on strike for half a year, without progress and waiting for a major demonstration
The conflict has not seen the light of day, basically, of the gap between what gardeners demand (their own agreement, significant wage increases and decent conditions) and what the company and the City Council are prepared to take on, both economically and institutionally, and mediation has failed to bring both sides closer together.
