Overview

• UGT and Femca reached a preliminary agreement late on June 22 to halt the indefinite metal strike in Cádiz pending worker approval.
• The eight-year pact covers roughly 30,000 workers across 5,000 companies, keeps salary hikes tied to inflation, and reinstates a toxic and arduous work bonus.
• It establishes new rules for fixed-discontinuous staff and creates entry-level contracts at 75% of base pay for 18 months.
• CCOO declined to sign and has publicly criticized the terms for failing to protect certain worker interests.
• Protests have continued with demonstrators blocking Navantia shipyard access and clashing with police, leading to multiple arrests on June 23 and 24.
