Gipuzkoa nursing home labor strike

Overview

More than 600 workers at eight nursing homes in Gipuzkoa have extended their strike until at least September 30. The labor action, which has lasted nearly 300 days, is driven by grievances regarding job precariousness, involuntary part-time contracts, and a wage gap exceeding 10,000 euros annually.

Striking workers and the ELA union have criticized the Provincial Council for a lack of political will to resolve the conflict and a blocked collective bargaining process. Additionally, the launch of the new Social Services Quality Evaluation Agency of Gipuzkoa faced protests from families and pensioners, who argue that care quality cannot be improved without addressing underlying labor conditions.
