Overview
- Workers at Girona+Neta, which handles trash collection and street cleaning, ratified a deal Wednesday that ends a three‑day strike.
- The workforce of 212 saw 169 employees vote, with 138 in favor, 30 against and one blank, giving the pact clear approval.
- Union leaders said a preagreement was reached at about 6 a.m. after overnight talks and then presented to the full staff for a vote.
- The agreement grants an extra 1% pay rise this year, adds 2.5% in 2025 and 1.5% in 2026 tied to the new contract, pays retroactive amounts in May or June, and waives deductions for the strike days.
- Shifts will be renegotiated within six months, holiday work will not be mandatory, and the company will cut reliance on temporary hires, as services resume ahead of the Temps de Flors event after trash piled up in central areas.
