The full story
Trade unions UGT and CCOO have called for a nationwide general strike on November 11, accompanied by two protest marches in Salamanca. According to union representatives, high inflation and rising housing costs are outpacing wage growth, leaving many workers near the poverty line. The day's schedule includes a morning march starting from the university campus and ending at the Plaza Mayor, followed by an evening march beginning at Gran Vía and concluding with the reading of a manifesto at the Plaza Mayor. Meanwhile, the regional government published mandatory minimum service regulations for healthcare, transport, and other essential sectors during the strike.
