Update: Spanish port workers call off strike

Spanish port workers have called off a planned three-day strike after the government confirmed it would put its port labour reforms on hold and instead open talks with unions.

The Spanish government had previously announced plans to reform the sector’s port labour market due to an ongoing fine from the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

Strikes were due to take place on February 20, 22 and 24 with unions mobilising against the proposals.
