Unions acknowledge a "disparate" monitoring of the strike

The general strike on November 11 shows varied participation across regions, with unions reporting up to 71% in some areas and as low as 41% in others. The CEOE claims overall participation is low, noting a 10% drop in electricity consumption, less than previous strikes. Incidents include two pedestrian accidents and the use of pepper spray against strikers in Madrid, prompting union leaders to criticize the government's response. They express satisfaction with initial turnout, particularly in sectors like automotive and chemicals, while highlighting significant participation in coastal regions and Catalonia. The unions plan to address the use of force against protesters legally.
