Spanish social care labor protests

Overview

Labor unions in Spain are organizing protests to demand improved working and salary conditions within the social care and home assistance sectors.

In Cantabria, the UGT union has scheduled informative assemblies in several locations, including Santander and Torrelavega, ahead of a planned demonstration at the Cantabria Parliament on September 21. The union is seeking a new regional collective agreement and modifications to the Law of Social Rights and Services. They noted that the industry employs over 10,000 workers, 85% of whom are women.

In Ciudad Real, the CCOO union has called for a protest on September 19 in Plaza Mayor. This mobilization addresses the lack of progress in negotiating the socio-sanitary home care agreement, which has been expired since 2022. Representatives highlighted significant wage gaps and precarious conditions within this heavily feminized sector.
