After studying the Minimum Services proposal presented by State Ports on 1 March, the Secretariat of State for Infrastructure, Transport and Housing has published a resolution establishing the minimum services to be carried out during the dockers' upcoming strike action on: 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22 and 24 March.
This action anticipates a partial stoppage of activities (odd hours) on alternate days (3 days a week over a period of three consecutive weeks).
Given the scope of the call to strike, which will affect all cargo-handling companies providing port services related to handling goods, the right to strike held by the workers called to take such action must be combined with a set of minimum services that mitigate the impact on the general public and on economic development.
Generally speaking, these minimum services must fully cover island trade, Ceuta and Melilla as there is no other way to supply these territories. In equal measure, all services required to guarantee operations affecting perishables and dangerous goods must be continued, in addition to services for responding to emergencies and all other services designed to prevent regular passenger traffic from being affected.
A full copy of the resolution is available on our website
