The full story
Major trade unions in Spain, including Comisiones Obreras (CCOO), the Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT), and the Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT), have organized a nationwide general strike scheduled for November 11, 2026. In Valladolid, the municipal transport company Auvasa has implemented minimum service requirements to ensure essential public transit operations. According to reports, approximately 38.30% of driving staff will be on duty. While specific lines connecting to industrial zones, universities, and neighborhoods will maintain regular schedules, other urban bus routes will see significant reductions in frequency. The municipal government established these essential service levels on November 9 to mitigate the impact of the strike on public services. The strike is set to last from 00:00 to 23:59 on the day of the action.
