Legal rulings in Galicia have addressed labor and health disputes involving employees at the Stellantis factory in Vigo.

In one case, the High Court of Justice of Galicia (TSXG) granted permanent total disability to a 55-year-old operator. The court found that the physical demands of the assembly line, combined with shoulder and cervical pain, made her duties impossible to perform. The ruling also acknowledged severe anxiety and sub-depressive mood resulting from the job's physical requirements.

In a separate matter, the TSXG ordered Stellantis Vigo to revoke a shift change imposed on a 58-year-old employee with 30 years of service. The worker had requested adaptations due to health issues, including carpal tunnel syndrome and sleep apnea. Although a lower court initially dismissed the lawsuit, the TSXG overturned the decision, ruling that the company failed to correctly apply occupational risk prevention regulations. The court declared the move to night and weekend shifts “unjustified” and ordered the reinstatement of the worker’s previous schedule.
