ELA, LAB and ESK join the November 11 strike call

ELA, LAB and ESK at the national level have joined the general strike for housing on the date proposed by the Tenants' Union and sponsored by UGT and CC. OO.: November 11. The Basque trade unions stressed the need to address the strike from Euskal Herria and finally joined the general call.

ELA has announced that the strike will take place directly on that day, while LAB will propose that date to its National Assembly tomorrow, Thursday.

In a statement, ELA states that it continues to work with the housing unions and other social and trade union partners to increase pressure on all the institutions. In particular, the centre is focused on the Basque and Navarre institutions, where the Governments here have broad powers in this area.

The union recalls that the Autonomous Communities have competence over housing. It cannot be justified that, even in the midst of a housing crisis, they do not exercise the powers currently in force properly.

LAB will also join the date of November 11. The decision has been taken by the union as a result of its work in favour of a joint call with trade union and social agents and after maintaining contact with the Confederation of Tenants of the Spanish State, which will propose it to its National Assembly tomorrow.

The nationalist union also looks at the governments of the ACV and Navarre. It says that changes that are not possible in Madrid are possible in Euskal Herria.
