Metro de Granada workers begin partial strikes over pay disputes

Workers at Metro de Granada have commenced a series of partial strikes as part of a labor dispute with the concessionaire, Avanza. The employees, totaling 160 staff members, are demanding wage parity with other Andalusian metro systems, noting that salary differences can reach up to 30 percent per category.

The Committee of Company has announced a calendar of mobilizations for November, including nine days of partial strikes and two days of total service stoppage. The strikes are scheduled to coincide with the end of the national election campaign.

The Junta de Andalucía has established minimum service levels of 60 percent to mitigate the impact on commuters. While negotiations are ongoing, the union maintains that improvements are necessary for worker safety, well-being, and service quality.
