Barcelona staff plan strike ahead of El Clasico against Real Madrid

Barcelona are facing an internal dispute before their El Clasico against Real Madrid, with staff responsible for organising matches planning a three-day strike.

The proposed action is intended to highlight what the employees describe as serious, long-standing problems that have adversely affected their working conditions.

According to derbyderbyderby.it, citing Mundo Deportivo, the protest is scheduled to take place from Friday, 23 October, to Monday, 26 October. The dates coincide with a particularly important weekend for several of Barcelona’s sporting departments.

The dispute is unrelated to events on the pitch, but has created a tense atmosphere around the club as Barcelona prepare for their meeting with Real Madrid.
