Spain - Prison unions demonstrate over working conditions - November 25, 2010

The five trade unions in the prison sector, ACAIP-USO, CC.OO, CIG, CSI-F and FSP-UGT, have organised a national demonstration on 25 November in Madrid to protest over pay, working conditions and overcrowding. The unions are angry that the prison employers have failed to abide by collective agreements and accuse them of presiding over a chaotic management system.
