Calpe waste management strike

Overview

A seven-day indefinite strike by waste management workers in Calpe, Spain, led to significant refuse accumulation and unsanitary conditions throughout the municipality. Mayor Ana Sala reported the situation to public health authorities and threatened the contractor, Acciona, with sanctions of up to 50,000 euros for failing to meet minimum service requirements.

The strike, which began on August 6, concluded after a 15-hour negotiation session between workers and Acciona. An agreement was reached in the early hours of August 15, following worker demands for a 15% wage increase to be implemented over three years. While specific settlement details remain undisclosed, it is expected that the municipal government may have assisted in addressing salary increases not covered by the original contract. Waste collection services resumed immediately following the agreement to clear the streets.
