Interurban transport users in the province of Cádiz face significant disruptions due to partial stoppages called by Transportes Generales Comes S.A., which could escalate into an indefinite strike starting June 22, 2026 if no agreement is reached.

The Inter-Company Committee of Transportes Generales Comes S.A. has registered with the Junta de Andalucía a call for partial stoppages that will extend from April to June 2026. This pressure measure arises after denouncing a "total blockage" in collective bargaining with the company, and they warn of an indefinite strike if an agreement is not reached before June 22.
The stoppages will be concentrated in two key time slots, designed to maximize their impact on daily commutes, especially for work and school. These slots are from 06:45 to 08:45 and from 13:25 to 15:25, high-demand periods that are expected to cause delays and alterations in connections between municipalities in the province of Cádiz.
The mobilization calendar covers several days over three months. In April, stoppages are scheduled for the 17th, 20th, 24th, 27th, and 30th. During May, the affected dates will be the 4th, 8th, 11th, 15th, 18th, 22nd, 25th, and 29th. Finally, in June, stoppages will occur on the 1st, 5th, 8th, 12th, 15th, and 19th. The threat of an indefinite 24-hour strike from June 22, if no agreement is reached, could have an even greater impact on provincial mobility.

The legal representation of the workers considers this measure "abusive and disproportionate," understanding that it limits the right to strike.

The company committee has outlined several reasons for this call. Among them, they highlight discrimination in the seniority bonus, a salary supplement from which permanent workers hired after 2017 are excluded. They also denounce structural job insecurity, with over 40% of the workforce in unstable conditions, and the use of part-time contracts that do not reflect actual working days, which can exceed 14 hours of availability. Furthermore, they point to the non-compliance with minimum legal rest periods, a situation that, according to the committee, has been previously warned by the Labor Inspectorate.
The Junta de Andalucía has established minimum services of 50%, also guaranteeing essential routes such as school, health, and worker transport. However, the legal representation of the workers considers this measure "abusive and disproportionate," arguing that it distorts the impact of the protest and limits the right to strike, and therefore announces that they will study its judicial challenge.
This conflict not only affects the Comes workforce but also thousands of users who depend on public transport for their daily commutes in the province of Cádiz. The possibility of an indefinite strike at the beginning of summer adds a layer of uncertainty in a province where mobility is fundamental. The committee, for its part, assures that it will continue working on internal measures such as a new Equality Plan, with the aim of reducing the gender gap, improving job stability, and ensuring work-life balance.
