Overview
- Workers voted 831 to 336 against the proposed agreement in province-wide balloting across A Coruña, Santiago de Compostela, Ferrol and Carballo, with a majority no in every location.
- Employer groups said the preagreement is now void, noting it had offered 3.4% pay rises for the current year and 2025 with an inflation review, a 1,800-hour annual schedule with a continuous-shift priority and premium, a €1,000 absenteeism bonus, and improved holiday pay and digital disconnection rules.
- UGT said it accepts the sector's mandate and will meet in the coming days to analyze the result and decide next steps.
- CIG requested urgent mediation through the Consello Galego de Relacións Laborais, proposing to keep the strike suspension in place until Monday to try to close a definitive deal, with mobilizations including the indefinite strike back on the table if talks fail.
- The dispute remains unresolved after the vote, and the continuity of bus services used daily by thousands in the province hinges on decisions in the coming days.
