Spanish and Portuguese unions in contact for a possible Iberian general strike

Spanish and Portuguese unions are discussing a potential joint general strike, coinciding with Spain's planned strike on November 11. Unai Sordo, leader of CCOO, emphasized the historical significance of such a mobilization. The strike in Spain aims to address housing rights and dignified wages, responding to widespread discontent over living conditions. Activists, including Alicia del Rio from the Madrid Tenants' Union, advocate for grassroots organization and solidarity across borders. The ongoing protests, including a significant encampment in Madrid, have heightened awareness of housing issues and contributed to political changes in Spain.
