H&M Workers Strike For Higher Pay Across Spain

SPAIN – Hundreds of retail workers walked off the job across Spain Monday in a new round of strikes against fashion giant H&M group.

More than 4,000 Spanish employees are seeking pay rises in line with the higher cost of living and are protesting increased workloads linked to layoffs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Monday’s walkout was the third day of strikes by H&M group employees this month.

Flagship stores in Madrid have closed, with hundreds of workers gathering in front of the city’s largest H&M location to demand better conditions.
