Spanish strikes apparently are different from French ones, where things actually do come to a standstill or at least makes travel extremely difficult for anyone needing to get from A to B, often having to rely on means of transportation that take ages to arrive. If at all.
In Spain they seem to react differntly to battlecries from the union leaders. As part of the austerity measures belatedly imposed by the Spanish government earlier this month, the unions tried to stir workers into action. Only it failed, if this report is to be believed:
«Madrid’s regional government, which runs schools and hospitals, said only 8% of workers stayed away. That is less than half those who call in sick, or find other reasons not to work, on a normal day.»
Hm, makes one think, maybe if they impose even more austerity then everyone will eventually show up for work? Cherish the thought!
