Technical strike cancels PICASS and several Pirates events in San Sebastian
As a result of Friday's stoppage, the Quincena Musical dance show will no longer take place, and the Pirates of San Sebastian have suspended activities in Trinity Square and the Skabidean concert.
The strike of workers in the entertainment and events sector called for this Friday, August 14, has had its first consequences during the Big Donostiarra Week. The unemployment has led to the suspension of the PICASS dance show scheduled by the Musical Fortnight, and the Pirates of San Sebastian have also interrupted the programming of the Trinity Square and the Skabidean concert in La Flamenka.
PICASS, the work of dancer and choreographer Lorena Nogal, was scheduled in Tabakalera at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. in two performances. The piece inspired by Pablo Picasso's artistic universe was included in the Tabakalera Dantzan cycle in the 87 edition of the Musical Fortnight.
Pirates interrupt programming in solidarity with workers
The Pirates of San Sebastian, for their part, have decided to suspend the activities scheduled for this Friday in Trinity Square, as well as the concert that Skabidean was to offer in La Flamenka at 00:30.
Skabidean's performance was part of the Pirate Big Week program for this Friday.
Thus, the strike has affected part of the holiday programme planned for one of the central days of the Big Donostiarra Week, while the rest of the activities will maintain the planned programme.
They demand a collective agreement for the sector.
Technicians, ESK, LAB, UGT, CCOO, ELA and CNT have called for this Friday's strike due to the lack of progress in negotiating the collective agreement in the entertainment and events sector.
Trade unions have denounced the deadlock in negotiations with EUKI employers and demanded decent working conditions for workers in the sector, which are essential for the organisation and holding of cultural and festive events. According to the summoners, complaints lodged with the Labour Inspectorate have led to the conviction of several companies for labour offences.
This Friday's unemployment is the second date on the strike calendar called at the festivities of the three Basque capitals, which took place on 5 August in Álava, coinciding with the festivities of the White Virgin of Vitoria-Gasteiz, while on 26 August a new stoppage will take place in Bizkaia during the Big Week of Bilbao.
