Nursing Care Technicians Mount 24-Hour National Strike, Hospitals Trim Non-Urgent Surgery

The walkout seeks application of a 2015 statute to reclassify the workforce to Group C1 for proper status and pay.

Overview

  • Minimum-service orders kept emergency and inpatient care running as scheduled operations were pared back.
  • Vigo’s Chuvi hospital postponed a significant number of procedures, though officials said more surgeries proceeded than were canceled.
  • TCAE Unidos por el C1, supported by FAC-USO, is pressing to move the category from Group C2 to C1 under article 76 of the TREBEP.
  • Organizers called more than 100,000 workers to join the stoppage with hospital and primary care rallies late in the morning.
  • The campaign began in Andalucía, expanded nationwide, and in Galicia coincided with separate primary care strikes by CIG and O’Mega.
