The Confederation of Employers of Andalusia (CEA) holds that the incidence of the strike in the community is being "scant" and emphasizes that, despite the fact that the first hour of the morning has developed with "normality," there have been "specific actions by coercive pickets" that have caused "tension" when trying to "paralyze" the departure of public transport in essential services, entry and exit at certain centers, as well as the "blocking" of some access routes to cities and industrial estates.
In a statement, the CEA has expressed its thanks to the Forces and State Security Corps for their "work to guarantee coexistence, security, and the exercise of all rights." The business organization explains that "we maintain permanent contact with companies, sectors and territories to assess the follow-up of the strike and to provide companies with the information and support they may need during the day." Based on the data that companies and sectoral organizations pass on to them, the CEA reiterates that "the follow-up of the strike is being scant."
The Andalusian employers’ association emphasizes that "in most facilities and sectors work is being carried out normally, and it is also worth noting that a part of those absences responds to the action of coercive pickets." The Confederation of Employers of Andalusia stresses that "workers can freely exercise their choice; no one should be forced to be absent from their workplace; follow-up of the strike is voluntary, and both options must coexist from respect, without pressures or coercion."
To conclude, the CEA appeals to the "responsibility of everyone" and states that "differences in opinion should not restrict freedom, generate confrontation, or alter coexistence, which must be based on mutual respect."
