Pall hangs over Izar

摘要

Spanish shipyard workers demonstrating their grievances in Seville last week were met by smoke bombs and rubber bullets. And according to a union negotiator, their New Year could be even grimmer. After rubbe bullets and smoke bombs injured 15 Spanish shipyard workers in clashes with police last week in Seville, thousands of their colleagues face unemployment. Cost-cutting efforts by shipbuilder Izar in the face of a shipbuilding crisis have angered unions. They have warned of lengthy industrial action unless current labour agreements are respected.
