CCOO has called off the general strike planned for Monday December 9 for urban, intercity and state bus drivers throughout Spain to demand early retirement in the sector.
As indicated in a CCOO circular, the union has decided to suspend the day’s bus transport strike, for which minimum services of 50% had been established at state level. This Monday would have been the fourth day of a total of seven days initially called, after those that took place on October 28 and November 28 and 29. November 11 was also called but was cancelled due to the effects of the DANA. On this occasion, the strike was supported by CCOO, with more than 40% representation in the sector, as well as by CGT, after UGT and SLT withdrew from the call after having signed with the employers’ associations Confebús, Anetra and Atuc a commitment to request early retirement from the administrations once a royal decree comes into force.
