On Saturday 1st April the Spanish anarcho-syndicalist trade union, the CNT, held a demonstration and workers arrived in buses from all over the country to attend. </p><p>Like the demonstrators in France (see <a target="_self" href="http://www.libcom.org/blog">www.libcom.org/blog</a> for coverage) the participants were opposing a new proposed employment law. It allows for the reduction in redundancy payments, makes mass sackings easier and increases the power of temp agencies - who are currently trying to enter sectors such as public administration and construction. They were opposed most of all to the fact that every new reform means more advantages to employers to the detriment of workers' rights.</p><p><a href="https://www.iww.org/node/2341" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Department 300 - General Construction International Solidarity Mon, 10 Apr 2006 18:00:00 +0000 x344543 2341 at https://www.iww.org
