- The San Sebastian Festival will be managed this weekend by Last Tour, the promoter of Bilbao BBK Live, as reported by the promoter. LAB and ERNAI, in relation to the precariousness denounced last summer, have "launched alarms" and have put in place means of contact for the strike.
The San Sebastian Festival will be held at the Racecourse of Lasarte on 13 and 14 September. Last July the bilbaíno group Eragin Bilbo published in the Bilbao BBK Live an extensive information on the precarious situation of workers. Take into account long working conditions, low wages, suggestions for lying to the labour inspectorate, etc. The company also threatened to denounce this popular movement for using its image in the posters and banners it was carrying.
Last week workers who were working at the BBK Live festival reported that they charged a month late, as well as ways to charge it. In a van they were paid one by one what they owed them, and some workers reported that they had been done during two hours of queue.
Eragin Bilbao asked the people who worked at the festival to tell their experience and publish it on social networks. They also denounced that the City Council of Bilbao grants the promoter more than EUR 1 million. First complaint by a former worker.
