UGT and CCOO state that the reform is an attack both on labour rights and on collective bargaining. Local protests held in 57 cities on 19 February mobilized as many as 1,800,000 people. More actions have been announced for 29 February. The confederations have initiated legal actions against the law and its adoption without consultation of the social partners, before the Spanish constitutional court as well as the ILO. They argue that the reforms will make dismissals easier and will undermine collective bargaining, allowing company-level agreements to undercut branch-level bargaining and giving employers more scope to impose changes unilaterally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">English: http:\u002F\u002Fwww.eucoban.eu\u002FEMF\u002FReports\u002FMassive-demonstrations ...  \u003Cbr\u002F>http:\u002F\u002Fwww.epsu.org\u002Fcob\u002F461#a8480  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">Spanish: http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ccoo.es\u002Fcsccoo\u002Fmenu.do?Informacion:Noticias:310718 \u003Cbr\u002F>http:\u002F\u002Fwww.fspugt.es\u002FCientos_de_miles_de_trabajadores_se_movilizan_contra ... \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cem>This article was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
