Formentera strike: 12% walk out, offices stay open

On the island of Formentera, 12% of island council staff have joined a strike by 12.30pm on Wednesday 11 November, but council offices remain open to the public. The council reports no significant incidents and says minimum staffing is in place.

That cover applies to nurseries, the citizen service office, vehicle inspections, the day centre, the residential home and the fire service. Minimum services are also set for public transport, taxis and rubbish collection.

Hugo Martínez, the council’s human resources chief and government spokesperson, says essential services continue to run. He says the council respects staff members’ right to strike and shares public concern about the reasons for the walkout. He does not specify those reasons.
