A General Strike has been called by the CIG, CGT, CNT and CUT trade unions for 29 March next. [Castellano] [Galego]

Given the scenario created by the latest labour reforms by the government and employers, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo-Galiza (CNT) is calling a general strike for 29 March along with the Confederación Intersindical Galega (CIG), Confederación Xeral do Traballo de Galicia (CGT) and Central Unitaria de Traballadores/as (CUT), coinciding with the general strike in Euskal Herria.

We call on the working class not to go to their jobs on that day, and to participate in the pickets and demonstrations that will be boing on, both in the days leading up to the 29th and on the day itself.

The strike call will be formalized at the Regional Department of Labour next week, along with the other unions.
