The public company TRAGSA (Transformación Agraria) has, for the second time, cleaned up the town of El Coronil in Sevilla due to a declared public health risk from uncollected rubbish, carrying out the work under the protection of some ninety Guardia Civil officers.
The strike by cleaning workers in El Coronil has been ongoing since early January and the two sides in the dispute are no nearer to resolving the situation.
The mayor of El Coronil, Jerónimo Guerrero (PSOE), is hoping that TRAGSA will assume responsibility for the minimum service levels set for the strike.
