Spanish healthcare worker strikes
Overview
Medical professionals in Spain have initiated industrial actions to address labor shortages and working conditions. In Catalonia, doctors organized by the Metges de Catalunya union launched an indefinite strike to protest excessive workloads, the lack of a specific collective agreement, and the use of 24-hour shifts. While emergency and intensive care services maintained minimum requirements, primary care faced potential disruptions. Localized protests also emerged in districts like La Sagrera and Parc Taulí regarding overcrowding and long waiting lists.
In the Valencian Community, the High Court of Justice (TSJ) rejected an urgent request for an injunction against the minimum services established by the regional government for an indefinite strike involving doctors and medical residents. The court ruled that the strike did not meet the criteria for extreme urgency required for an immediate unilateral decision, though the proportionality of the minimum services remains subject to further legal debate.
