On October 15, ELA joined the general unemployment called in Hego Euskal Herria by the unions LAB, CCOO, Steilas, Solidari, Etxalde and Hiru to call on governments and companies to cease all relations with Israel.

To this end, ELAwill make a "direct" objection to the Basque Government and the Governmentsof Navarre and Spain. "All instruments must be used to stop the genocide against the Palestinians, and at the moment it is the parties of the Basque Country that must decide both in Vitoria and in Pamplona and in Madrid how far this commitment will go," said the Basque union.

Likewise, ELA has denounced Trump and Netanyahu's "latest blackmail" of the Palestinians, as well as the Sanchez government's "support" for it.

The union believes that Basque workers must press local institutions and companies to take action to denounce the genocide in Palestine. "In fact, the Basque people have demonstrated their ability to mobilize separately for Palestine, with a different message: you cannot buy or sell anything to Israel."

Initially, ELA proposed, together with LAB, to carry out on 13 October the general stops in Álava, Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa and Navarra, with demands "more concrete and committed" than the demands of the Spanish State. Its intention was to call for stops outside the mobilizations called by the Spanish trade union regime to support the Government of Sanchez.

Thus, in order not to "jam" the choice of staff between different calls, ELA has joined the call of 15 October, "always proposing content more specific and effective than those of the Madrid call."
