Unemployment rises by 43,128 people in October and Social Security gains 186,612 affiliates
Unemployment increases by 1.81% in October with 43,128 more people registered at employment offices for a total of 2,422,633 unemployed, and the system gains 186,612 more affiliates to reach a new historical high.
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.
