Developments: 2. Labor disputes involving local police forces in Spain have emerged in Palamós and Seville, primarily driven by grievances regarding working conditions and unpaid compensation. In Palamós, the Central Sindical Independent i de Funcionaris (CSIF) warned of a potential collapse in local police services after officers decided to stop working overtime. The union cited unresolved psychosocial risks, staff shortages, and increased medical leave due to stress. They are also demanding that the Palamós City Council comply with court rulings concerning bonuses and night shift compensation. Similarly, in Seville, the CSIF has criticized the municipal government over significant staffing shortages, noting approximately 400 unfilled positions. Union representative Santiago Raposo stated that the city has become a ‘theme park’ due to high event volumes despite these resource deficits. Specific complaints in Seville include unpaid overtime from previous holiday plans and various extraordinary services, including compensation for the 2022 UEFA final and a 2025 UN Summit. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-21: Seville local police protest unpaid overtime and staffing shortages Seville's local police union is protesting unpaid overtime and 400 vacant positions, claiming the city's focus on events has led to poor management of security resources. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/seville-local-police-protest-unpaid-overtime-and-staffing-shortages ### 2026-09-28: Palamós Local Police face collapse as officers stop overtime The CSIF union warns of a collapse in the Palamós Local Police and has announced that officers will stop working overtime due to poor working conditions and unpaid wages. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/palams-local-police-face-collapse-as-officers-stop-overtime --- Cite as: Spanish local police labor disputes.
