DIGI Strike Enters Day Two With Peaceful A Coruña Protest, Labour Complaints Filed

Workers say a new national agreement, negotiated without their participation, cuts benefits.

Overview

  • Employees in A Coruña, Cantabria and the Basque Country are staging a coordinated three‑day walkout against DIGI’s newly unified collective agreement.
  • About forty people demonstrated peacefully on Wednesday outside a DIGI store on A Coruña’s calle Barcelona as police monitored the gathering.
  • CIG denied the company’s account of incidents from Tuesday, when DIGI reported cut network cabling, damage at a store and six company cars with slashed tyres, with police clearing protesters.
  • CIG says it has lodged a complaint with the Labour Inspectorate alleging violation of the right to strike, citing unnegotiated minimum services and staff brought from Madrid to replace strikers.
  • In Cantabria, workers protested outside UGT and CC.OO. offices and filed local complaints, while DIGI maintains staff will not earn less under the new agreement.
