Hundreds of workers of Acerinox, a stainless steel manufacturer based in Spain, continued the strike at the plant in Los Barrios, Cádiz. They blocked the A-7 highway due to the lack of progress in negotiations, seeking for their demand for better working conditions.

The blockade of the A-7 highway has caused severe disruption to daily commutes and freight transport, and the strike also raised questions about the future of industrial relations in Spanish manufacturing.

The long strike is likely to have a severe impact on Acerinox’s economy, and the company’s market position and financial health will be also affected.
