Part of situation: Spain housing crisis general strike (8 clusters)

Spanish unions call general strike for November 11 over housing and wages

general strike housing crisis wage increases Spanish unions CEOE

Major Spanish labor unions, including CCOO and UGT, have officially registered a general strike scheduled for November 11, 2026. The 24-hour mobilization aims to address the country's housing crisis and stagnant wages.

Key demands include a 4% to 7% increase in wages, a 7% rise in the minimum wage (SMI), and the creation of one million affordable housing units. Tenant unions are also calling for the expropriation of vulture funds and increased public housing stock.

The strike is expected to impact transportation, public administration, and the private sector across Spain. In response, the CEOE (Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations) has announced plans to challenge the strike in court, arguing that the movement is 'electoral' in nature rather than a legitimate labor dispute.
