Around 6,000 employees have joined the walk-out after private companies, contracted by Madrid’s city hall planned to slash salaries by up to 40 percent and lay off more than 1,100 people. Angel Jornosa, one of the workers whose job is under threat said: “They are going to kick us out with a shameful severance pay.
