Key facts

Spanish unions have called for a general strike on November 11 to protest the housing crisis and low wages. This mobilization is occurring in Spain, weeks before anticipated legislative elections. The strike is supported by the country's two largest unions, and it follows a national movement sparked by the eviction of a retiree in Madrid.
