Spain -Strike at Crown Cork Sevilla -June 19, 2012

Workers at metal container manufacturer Crown Cork in Sevilla have started industrial action in reaction to the company’s refusal to negotiate a new collective agreement. The collective agreement that is currently being applied formally expired in 2008 but four years of talks have not led to a new agreement. The workers went on strike in the beginning of May and unions report a 100% mobilisation. Unions have also called for the support of other unions, asking employees of Spanish and foreign companies that make use of Crown Cork’s services to suspend their contracts until the company management gets back to the negotiation table.
