Approximately 9,000 workers have been called to strike to pressure the company into accepting union demands within a new collective bargaining agreement.
o The two unions are seeking inflation-linked pay reviews and a reduction in working hours, among other grievances.
o This would mark the second nationwide strike in the company's history, following last year's walkout over pay issues.
o UGT representatives stated that Iberdrola workers' wages have fallen by 19% in real terms over the past five years.
o The company remains open to reaching a balanced agreement, an Iberdrola spokesperson said.
