UGT and CC OO Rally Across Regions on Worker Safety Day Citing 2025 Job Deaths

Union leaders demand greater regional resources for prevention to cut job deaths.

Overview

  • UGT and CC OO, which marched Tuesday on the World Day of Safety and Health at Work, held coordinated rallies across Castilla y León and in Murcia to press for more inspectors and prevention resources.
  • The unions reported that Castilla y León recorded 62,651 workplace accidents in 2025, including 53 deaths.
  • Local figures underscored the toll with 4,216 accidents and two deaths in Segovia, and 4,501 accidents and four deaths in Palencia.
  • In Murcia, hundreds marched in silence to mourn 37 workers who died in job accidents last year and to urge the regional government to act.
  • Union speakers warned that many “invisible” job-related illnesses, including mental health harm, go unrecognized and need stronger tracking and care.
