Workers at the Hospital Costa del Sol in Marbella have begun an indefinite strike in protest at the cuts approved by the Junta de Andalucia.
The strike action was approved on Friday at a meeting of the works council. Union representatives are planning weekly manifestations outside the offices of the various political parties in Málaga.
The emergency department is functioning at 100%. Employees fear that the strike will have little effect on the general public due to what they believe are ‘abusive’ minimum service levels.
