The 2019 Catalan general strike, also known as 18-O, was a
general strike held by
Catalan separatists on 18 October 2019, on the fifth night of the
2019 protests following
the verdict against Catalonia independence leaders for their participation in a
referendum on independence two years earlier.
Strikes for political reasons are not allowed by Spanish law. The main labor unions in the country,
UGT and
CCOO, did not participate.
