Canceled

Last Updated:

Major Road transport (freight and passenger buses)

Update: this strike did not take place. UGT called it off on 8 June 2026, before the postponed start date of 22 June, after the Social Security Ministry confirmed in writing that the early-retirement file for professional drivers is being processed. Road freight and bus services were not affected.

An indefinite nationwide strike has been called from 8 June 2026 across the road transport sector in Spain. FeSMC‑UGT says the stoppage will affect both freight trucking and passenger bus services, and is over the Government’s delay in recognizing early‑retirement coefficients for professional drivers; the union warns it will proceed unless the dossier is unblocked.

This alert was originally created on 15 May 2026.
