Dozens of social partners have joined the March 17 strike for their own minimum wage
"Having a minimum wage of its own in the Basque Country is a demand that benefits all the people who work and live in it," they said at a hearing in Bilbao.
Dozens of social partners have joined the general strike to demand their own inter-professional minimum wage on 17 March. For the time being, half a hundred social partners and movements have announced their support forthe protest called by ELA, LAB, Steilas, Etxalde and Hiru u to claim a minimum wage of 1,500 euros for Euskal Herria.
In a hearing in Bilbao, the two actors have read, on behalf of all the collectives, a manifesto in which they have stressed that the "patriarchal, eco-political and racist system" has turned the world "upside down" and that "these are not easy times for workers and people."
They warn that Euskal Herria "is not safe from this reality"because employers and political leaders are "holding hands" to "block any measure of fair distribution of wealth." "This is also what is happening with the minimum wage: they want to undertake sufficient income to meet the basic needs of those of us who live in it and to deepen the social gaps that we are already experiencing. "
They are convinced that having a minimum wage of their own in the Basque Country is a "benefit claim" for all the people who work and live there. Therefore, in addition to joining the strike, they are committed to doing "pedagogical and politicization work" in favour of this claim in towns and neighbourhoods.
"We are clearly saying that we are going to win this battle. We are calling for everything to stop on 17 March. We are convinced that the fight is worth it and that we can achieve it."
Among the signatories are Herri Bilgune Feminista, Euskal Herria Pensioners' Movement, Ernai, Kakitzat, Ongi Etorri Errefuxiatuak Araba, SOS Aiaraldea, Gure
