Unions have won 90% participation in Puertollano, with workers demanding the withdrawal of the collective layoff plan.

Overview

  • First-day strike halted output at Fertiberia’s Sagunt plant and other facilities nationwide
  • UGT, CCOO, CSIF and USO initiated the action in response to an ERE affecting 54 of the company’s 760 employees through December 2026
  • Puertollano saw 90% turnout as workers challenged Fertiberia’s productive, technical and organizational justifications for the redundancies
  • The plan targets 11 roles at Sagunt despite the plant being the group’s most efficient site
  • Sagunt town council and other local bodies have pledged support and four more 24-hour strike days are set for June 6, 11, 12 and 13
