A Vigo court has ordered the Vigo City Council to pay nearly 20,000 euros in compensation to four civil servants. The ruling stems from a violation of fundamental rights caused by failures in occupational risk prevention.

A 2019 psychosocial risk assessment for the Local Development and Employment Service had identified high risks and recommended measures such as balancing workloads and clarifying worker functions. Despite warnings from the Labor Inspectorate regarding deficient communication and poor planning, the Council failed to implement the required changes or conduct new assessments. The court concluded that the Council’s failure to comply with the Inspectorate’s indications resulted in the infringement of workers' rights.
