Workers at the Spanish postal service, Correos, have initiated protests across multiple provinces to demand better wages and increased staffing levels. In Zamora, employees are protesting low monthly earnings and the need to convert part-time roles into full-time positions. The union CSIF noted that while parcel volumes have risen by about 60%, the workforce has decreased, particularly impacting rural regions.

In Cádiz, the labor dispute has intensified as the provincial workforce reportedly dropped from approximately 1,000 to 600 employees. This reduction has left several service centers operating with less than half of their necessary personnel, creating significant service pressures in areas such as Conil, Algeciras, and La Línea. The union is demanding new hiring, full-time contracts, and the renewal of the collective bargaining agreement.
