Assaults against UGT union workers in Spain

Overview

The UGT union in Spain has reported multiple physical assaults against its workers. In late August, a worker in León was subjected to a physical and verbal attack that union leadership characterized as a ‘hate attack’. The organization noted that the union has faced ongoing harassment and insults for several months.

Following this, in early September, the UGT Servicios Públicos union condemned an assault on a waste collection driver in Hellín, Albacete. The union stated that such incidents are not isolated and frequently occur during the summer months. In response to the Hellín incident, the union has demanded that local authorities and the employer implement safety measures, specifically questioning the safety of nighttime collection schedules.
