The Association of Metal Trade and Industry Companies of Madrid (AECIM) is monitoring the strike day to determine its impact on the activity of metal sector companies in the Community of Madrid. According to information collected up to 10:00 a.m., turnout is very limited, estimated at around 5% of metal workers, and activity is continuing normally, with the association not aware of any significant incidents.
AECIM’s monitoring provides an initial assessment of the strike’s impact on Madrid’s metal companies. As of now, the association has only detected one picket at one of more than 100 companies contacted. The operation of industrial parks, for the most part, is not experiencing problems that are broadly affecting the conduct of business activity.
The metal sector in the Community of Madrid employs a substantial workforce. Statistical data tied to the Metal Industry, Services and Installations collective agreement place roughly 180,000 people within its scope, a reference that helps gauge the economic and employment footprint of this activity in the region.
AECIM continues to track the day through the information available on the operation of companies and workplaces. This work allows identifying potential incidents and provides a clearer view of the strike’s impact on the Madrid metal fabric.
