Labor strikes in Galician food and commerce sectors

Overview

Labor unrest has escalated within the food retail and commerce sectors in Galicia, Spain. In late July 2026, a massive wave of walkouts hit food-retail shops in the A Coruña province. Organized by unions including CIG, UGT, CC OO, and USO, the strike targeted major chains such as Gadis and Froiz, resulting in reduced store capacity and idle logistics centers.

By mid-August 2026, further industrial action was organized. The CCOO-Servizos union called for strikes in the Galician commerce sector to protest the increasing opening of businesses on Sundays and holidays. Simultaneously, unions continued mobilization in the A Coruña food sector from August 15 to 17, citing insufficient employer proposals regarding wages and the recovery of purchasing power.
