Spain: Unionized ambulance workers plan indefinite strike in Castile and Leon starting July 10

Unionized ambulance workers plan to strike indefinitely across the autonomous community of Castile and Leon from July 10 amid a dispute over pay and working conditions. Striking workers may demonstrate outside healthcare facilities, particularly in major urban centers such as Valladolid and Salamanca. Essential emergency medical services will likely be exempt from the action.

The strike will likely prompt significant disruption to healthcare services, including a reduction in available services and cancellations of routine appointments. Disruptions could persist following the strike as medical facilities deal with a backlog of patients. Demonstrations outside medical facilities may cause localized transport and business disruptions.
