Abstract

This article describes and analyzes Spain’s 2011 football players’ strike under their union’s orientation – before and during the strike. In order to accomplish this, we conducted documental research on two Spanish newspapers (El País and Marca, from 2008 to 2013) and information provided by the football players’ Union. We verified those sources to reconstruct the narrative and analyze it based on Hyman’s views on union geometry. Our results suggest that after a change in the union’s leadership, attempts at mobilization pointed to a classist ideology based on the concept of solidarity and unity, as well as society integration. The strike emerged in that scenario.
