Major Manufacturing (metal industry)

CC.OO., UGT and CIG have called six strike days in the metal-industry sector of Pontevedra province: 7, 13 and 14 May, then 19, 20 and 21 May 2026. The dispute affects roughly 30,000 workers in shipyards, naval auxiliary, automotive, plumbing and electrical contracting. The first strike day on 7 May paralysed the industry in Vigo and Pontevedra, with more than 1,000 demonstrators in Vigo. 19, 20 and 21 May coincide with the Navalia naval fair at Ifevi. The conflict stems from a deadlock in the new provincial collective-agreement negotiations after 13 sessions without progress.

This alert was originally created on 22 April 2026.
