Spain faces logistics and transport workers strikes affecting thousands

On June 8, logistics operators in Seville began a twelve‑day strike organized by the CCOO union after negotiations stalled over a proposed 3% wage increase. The action, scheduled in three phases (June 8‑12, 18‑19 and 22‑26), involves roughly 6,000 employees and around 200 firms, including Amazon and DHL facilities, and could disrupt distribution and normal operations.

In Segovia, a separate CCOO‑led walkout by road passenger‑transport workers started the same week, with union reports showing over 85% participation. The strike halted the Segovia‑Madrid bus line and metropolitan services, though school transport continued. Authorities introduced minimum‑service measures to maintain essential public transport during peak hours.

Both strikes reflect broader disputes over wages and cost‑of‑living adjustments, with employers citing profitability concerns while unions demand higher pay aligned with regional standards.
