Work Stories
Advocates for human rights
The TV series Abogadas (RTVE, 2024) tells the story of four young labor lawyers, Lola González, Manuela Carmena, Paca Sauquillo, and Cristina Almeida, from the sixties to the eighties, and the events that led to the Atocha massacre.
In addition, it shows us several pioneering court trials in defense of a working class with hardly any rights in the last period of Francoism. One of the cases tells how the female workers of a textile factory had to not only toil slave hours but also work to the rhythm of a deafening metronome, something that their male colleagues were not subjected to.
