Update: the strike has been postponed. On 18 June 2026 the works committee suspended the indefinite strike due to start on 20 June, after the company agreed to open a negotiation process of up to three months. Interurban "blue bus" services have run normally since. The committee has warned that it will resume mobilisations immediately if no acceptable agreement is reached by mid-September.

In Alicante’s metropolitan area, workers at Automóviles La Alcoyana have announced an indefinite strike from 20 June 2026, coinciding with the Fogueres de Sant Joan festivities. The committee cites a stalled collective agreement, deteriorating fleet and service quality, and demands action from the operator (Vectalia) and the Generalitat; interurban ‘blue bus’ routes linking Alicante with nearby municipalities may be disrupted.

This alert was originally created on 15 May 2026.
