According to data provided to State Ports by the 28 Port Authorities, 573 staff members were appointed across all ports, of whom 468 participated in the strike. Taking into account minimum services, this represents a 95.7% participation rate. Fifty workers were appointed to special shifts, with a 100% participation rate in the strike, excluding minimum services (4).
The number of applications contrasts sharply with the appointments made during the recent strike: 1,113 were called on June 5th, 1,511 on Wednesday, June 7th, and 1,755 on June 9th. This drastic decrease in applications for dockworkers is mainly due to the forecasts made by shipping companies and terminal operators, who have canceled calls, diverted routes, or brought forward or postponed deliveries to other dates.
This situation has meant that many dockworkers, who have not been called to work in the ports, have not clearly defined whether they were on strike or not, so it is not possible to know at this time what the real impact of the strike would have been in this first shift.
In ports such as Algeciras Bay, Barcelona, Alicante, Almería, the Balearic Islands, Cádiz, A Coruña, Ferrol, Motril, Málaga, Melilla, Vigo, Vilagarcía, Tenerife, and Seville, there have been no requests for dockworkers. Meanwhile, the minimum service requirements have been set at 84 people, and these requirements have been fully met, except in the port of Málaga, where the designated minimum service staff—5 workers—refused to load 25 mussel rafts bound for Melilla.
Similarly, transporters have not gone to the ports, so there have been no traffic congestions at the entrance to the port areas.
As in previous strikes, no significant incidents have been reported, beyond the workers' assemblies and gatherings at the port facilities themselves. At the port of Palma de Mallorca, a picket line of 30 dockworkers at the entrance to the old dock prevented 70 other dockworkers from entering, thus disrupting the minimum services required for that area.
