Overview
- CCOO and UGT will hold their main International Workers’ Day rally in Málaga, with leaders Unai Sordo and Pepe Álvarez set to take part.
- The move coincides with the Andalusian election campaign, though union sources say they chose Málaga before the vote was called and deny a partisan motive.
- Organizers say this year’s focus is housing access in a city where finding an affordable home is especially hard, alongside demands on severance, job safety, and limiting excessive part‑time hiring.
- The confederations considered several Andalusian cities, including Seville, before agreeing to stage the central act in Málaga.
- Madrid has hosted the central rally in most years with only rare exceptions, and union leaders plan a press briefing next week to outline the May Day mobilization.
