What protesters want

  • Approve reducing coefficients for early retirement of professional drivers

Organised by: CCOO

What authorities say

Employer associations CETM and Fenadismer stated that the strike is unjustified and disproportionate because it targets transport companies rather than the Ministry of Social Security, which they hold responsible for the administrative delay.12

The full story

The trade union CCOO has called a strike in the road freight transport sector for December 23 and 24, coinciding with the Christmas holiday period. According to the union, the action is organized to protest the government's delay in approving reducing coefficients that would enable professional drivers to retire early without financial penalties. CCOO criticized the Directorate General of Social Security for halting the emission of necessary reports following an election announcement. Industry employers associations, including CETM and Fenadismer, confirmed receiving notification of the upcoming strike via the Interconfederal Mediation and Arbitration Service. While employer groups supported the joint request for retirement coefficients, they criticized the strike timing as unjustified and disproportionate, arguing that the pressure targets transport companies instead of the Ministry of Social Security, which they hold responsible for the administrative blockade.
