The first general strike in the era of teleworking and in the midst of the pre-campaign points to a 'failure' and limits the cost to 1.7 billion

The economic impact of a general strike is challenging to measure, especially with the rise of telecommuting. CCOO and UGT anticipate varied participation due to the housing crisis and upcoming elections. Historically, general strikes in Spain have significantly affected sectors like industry and transport, but the current context suggests a lower impact compared to previous strikes. Experts estimate that the economic cost could range from 1.850 million to 5.000 million euros, depending on participation levels. The CEOE is monitoring the situation closely, while workers face salary deductions for strike participation.
