Valencian Community: public school teachers to launch indefinite strike from 11 May

Last Updated:

Major Education (public schools)

STEPV, UGT, CCOO and CSIF have called an indefinite strike of public-school teachers in the Valencian Community starting 11 May 2026. The date was set in an online assembly with more than 1,000 teachers; 38% of the roughly 10,000 polled chose 11 May. Demands include a salary increase that would cost an estimated €300–525 million annually. Unions broke off negotiations with the Conselleria d'Educació three days before the start. Information pickets and demonstrations are scheduled in València, Alacant, Castelló and Elx, with rallies on 13 May in front of the Palau de la Generalitat.

This alert was originally created on 30 April 2026.
