The CGT union has secured representation in cleaning and waste management elections for FCC Medio Ambiente in Ponferrada, reporting 100 percent worker participation. The union has signaled its intent to advocate for the unification of services to prevent wage or labor disparities under new service tenders.

In Zaragoza, the labor dispute involving the same company and union has escalated into a political confrontation. Municipal official Tatiana Gaudes accused the CGT of using citizens as ‘bargaining chips’ by planning strikes during the Pilar festivities and failing to attend negotiations. The CGT denied these allegations, accusing Gaudes of ‘lying about the negotiation’ and claiming that FCC management, rather than the union, walked away from mediation sessions.
