Trade unions register a petition with Social Security to bring forward retirement for airport ground staff
Road transport employees are threatening an indefinite strike if the Government drops its requirement to retire early without a pension penalty
Union labor unions UGT and CC OO have petitioned Spain's Social Security for early retirement for airport ground staff, or handling personnel, who perform physically demanding tasks. This comes just weeks after similar requests were made for construction, merchandise transportation, passenger transport, home help, and floor maids.
The unions have confirmed their petition to the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migration, despite the absence of support from business representatives, urging the study of reduced coefficients for workers with longer years of service. This would allow employees to retire earlier without a penalty to their pension. Simultaneously, more advanced labor cases related to road transport remain unresolved, causing growing impatience among labor federations. CC OO has warned of a possible indefinite strike due to this delay.
