Freight workers will strike 24 hours in Navarre to demand a new agreement
UGT, CCOO, ELA and LAB are calling for the truck drivers to stop from 22:00 this evening until 22:00 on Monday, so that the unions will press for further negotiations on the agreement, which has not been renewed for 17 years.
The nearly 5,000 workers in thetransport sector in Navarre are now called to a 24-hour strike to press the negotiations on the agreement that they have not renewed for 17 years.
The UGT, CC. OO., ELA and LAB unions have called for truck drivers to stop operating between 22:00 and 22:00 on Monday.
Earlier this week, at a press conference, the spokespersons for these four unions called for "fair and balanced" conditionsfor the new agreement, as the negotiation is "blocked." They also announced that they wanted to "turn this situation around" with this strike day that could paralyze the Navarre industry.
In view of these claims, the trade unions have agreed to update all the economic concepts and salary tables of the 2008 agreement and to call for a 32.1% increasein (CPI increase in Navarre since 2008). From 2026, it is proposed to review the tables annually taking into account the previous year's CPI.
On the other hand, they call, among other things, for the annual workload to be limited so as not to exceed 1,720 hours on 215 days, so that they have two consecutive days of weekly rest and 12 hours rest between the end of one day and the beginning of the next, and they also require a work schedule to determine the annual planning.
In addition to the 24-hour strike, this Mondaythere will be rallies in Pamplona and Tudela.
