Mallorca strike: union reports 80–90%, Palma buses delayed

In Palma, Mallorca, some municipal buses leave their depots late on Wednesday, 11 November, as a general strike over housing and decent wages takes place. The SATI union puts participation in the general strike at 80 to 90 per cent. That figure is for the wider strike, not specifically for staff at Palma’s bus company.

SATI general secretary Andrés Rodríguez says the union agreed a 30 per cent minimum service with Palma’s municipal bus company, Empresa Municipal de Transports (EMT). It was the only organisation with which SATI could reach such an agreement, he says; minimum services for other transport services and public administrations were imposed.

Rodríguez says the stoppage at EMT is passing without incidents. Apart from some late departures from the depots, he reports no disruption.
