The historic building of the UB will open to prepare for the 11-N strike
The historic building of the Universitat de Barcelona will become the Casa de la Huelga from Monday afternoon. Preparations for 11-N will take place there, and there will be activities open to everyone.
The space will serve as a meeting point for strike committees and to organise tasks.
The call is open to anyone who wants to get involved. People looking for information about their rights or about what is at stake are also welcome.
A meeting point to organise for 11-N
The Sindicat de Llogateres and student movement groups will make the historic building of the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) available as a preparation space for the general strike on 11 November. The so-called "Casa de la Huelga" will start operating this Monday afternoon.
The union proposes that the UB become a "nerve centre" for workers' strike committees. They will be able to meet there, hold assemblies, and carry out logistical tasks for the day.
Open organisation and activities
The programme will include talks and activities. There will also be artistic performances to complement the organisational work.
The organisers argue that the fight for the right to housing and against the cost of living is at a turning point, and they support keeping up the mobilisation. University activity in Barcelona has also included other events, such as a university competition; at the UB, the focus will be on preparing for the strike.
