Spain's two largest unions, UGT and CCOO, have called a nationwide general strike on November 11 over housing, the first joint action in 14 years. The strike comes weeks before a snap election on November 29, called after parliament rejected emergency housing measures. Protests erupted after the eviction of 87-year-old Maria del Carmen Abascal in Madrid, highlighting a shortage of 750,000 homes.
