  • Story Text: FURTHER INDUSTRIAL UNREST IN SPAIN RESULTED IN THOUSANDS OF WORKERS BEING LOCKED OUT FROM A MADRID ELETRICAL FACTORY YESTERDAY (THURSDAY). DURING THE DAY, OTHER WORKERS WHO HAD STAGED A SIT-IN STRIKE WERE EJECTED FROM THE FACTORY BY POLICE.

    THIS IS THE FIRST FILM THAT SPANISH AUTHORITIES HAVE ALLOWED TO BE TAKEN OF STRIKING WORKERS.

    THIS LATEST STRIKE OCCURRED AT THE STANDARD ELECTRICA FACTORY IN MADRID. THOUSANDS OF WORKERS WENT ON STRIKE IN PROTEST AGAINST DELAYS IN NEGOTIATING WAGE AGREEMENTS. THEY WERE MOVED FROM THE FACTORY BY POLICE WITHOUT INCIDENT.

    LATER, THE AFTERNOON SHIFT WAS LOCKED OUT OF THE FACTORY.

    SLOGANS WRITTEN ON THE FACTORY WALLS WERE BLACKED OUT BY POLICE.
