In Ceuta, local sectors are reporting various pressures linked to recent migration trends and economic shifts. The Independent Workers' Union (SITA) reported that municipal waste management workers are operating ‘at the limit’ due to increased service demands following a mass arrival of migrants. The union has called for ‘urgent reinforcement’ of staff to address hygiene risks and occupational hazards, particularly in areas like Trampolín beach where waste accumulation has increased. Simultaneously, the Ceuta Construction Entrepreneurs Association has raised concerns regarding the rise of unregulated labor and ‘unfair competition.’ Business owners have noted an increase in small-scale renovations potentially utilizing undocumented workers, citing unusual nighttime activity and debris accumulation as indicators. The association has requested increased inspections from government authorities and expressed concern that public investment might be diverted toward emergency migrant housing, potentially delaying long-term infrastructure projects. In response to recent economic impacts, the government has activated Royal Decree-Law 22/2026, which provides labor and Social Security aid to companies and the self-employed. Despite this measure, the local construction sector continues to raise alarms regarding the proliferation of unregulated labor in small residential projects, maintaining its calls for increased inspections.
