Strike by Iberdrola Workers: Unions at Iberdrola have called for a strike involving 9,000 workers in Spain to demand higher salaries and reduced working hours, marking the first such action in the company's over 100-year history.
Salary Increase Discrepancy: While Iberdrola raised wages by an average of 2.8% from 2021 to 2024, inflation during that period reached 19%, prompting unions to seek salary adjustments aligned with inflation to protect workers' purchasing power.
