A strike in Marbella today means there will be no garbage collection. The workers are demanding a pay increase to bring them more in line with workers in other sectors.
The strike will continue until Saturday night. The Council has said that it cannot afford the demands being made by the workers. In addition to the general economic crisis, Marbella’s own financial status is far from ideal.
The Council also criticised the PSOE for supporting the strike, labelling it ‘shameful’ and ‘totally irresponsible’.
