UGT union labor actions and election results in Spain
Overview
The UGT union has engaged in various labor campaigns and protest actions across several Spanish regions to address wage disparities and collective bargaining disputes. In Cantabria, the union is protesting wage gaps within the Cantabrian Health Service, claiming specialized care staff earn significantly less than primary care staff. In Palencia, UGT issued an ultimatum regarding a collective agreement with the company Seda, threatening a strike in November if wage increase demands are not met. Additionally, cleaning sector workers in Burgos have planned mobilizations to protest low wages and demand better working conditions.
Following these protest actions, the UGT secured significant victories in union elections at major industrial sites. At the GXO Logistics Miralcampo 2 center in Azuqueca de Henares, the union’s Federation of Services, Mobility and Consumption obtained a majority of the committee delegates. Furthermore, at the Stellantis automotive manufacturing plant in Zaragoza, UGT consolidated its position as the primary union, securing 15 of the 29 total delegates.
