In his opinion, the impact of the walkout will be felt with greater intensity in small businesses, self-employed workers and employees whose working hours are affected.
«Paralyzing economic activity has a real cost in terms of output, revenue and employment, and that cost ends up being passed on to society as a whole,» Guivernau said…
