PortAventura workers went on strike on Saturday to demand improved working conditions and a new collective bargaining agreement.
Around 500 theme park workers gathered at one of the employee entrances on Saturday morning.
Paco López, general secretary of the UGT trade union PortAventura section, said that the strike had support from around 80% of workers.
“The process of negotiation will continue until we reach an understanding that benefits both parties, as it has happened on previous occasions,” the park’s management said.
PortAventura workers agreed to go on strike after several meetings with the company to renew their working agreement, which expired on December 31, 2024, ended without a new deal.
Staff are calling for a “dignified” agreement with salary increases, as the UGT PortAventura union claims that 65% of workers are earning minimum wage.
