Zara Employees Organize Black Friday Demonstrations in Stores Throughout Europe

Protests Planned: Workers at Zara are set to protest in seven European countries on Black Friday, demanding the reinstatement of a profit-sharing scheme that was removed after the pandemic.

Union Coordination: The protests, coordinated by Spain's CCOO union along with unions from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and Portugal, will occur outside major Zara stores.

Profit Distribution Demand: CCOO representative Rosa Galan emphasized the need for Inditex to fairly distribute profits, highlighting the company's significant earnings attributed to its staff's efforts.

Historical Context: The protests coincide with a key sales period for retailers, and similar actions have previously led to wage increases for Inditex workers in Spain following protests last year.
