Minimum services of the state Administration set for the general strike

The Government Delegate in the Canary Islands, Anselmo Pestana Padrón, has established the minimum services that the bodies of the General State Administration in the province of Las Palmas must maintain today due to the general strike. The resolution, signed on November 6, 2026, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Las Palmas number 135, corresponding to Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with reference 2276900 starting on page 19350. The strike day is called from 00:00 to 23:59 hours today.

The call comes from eight trade union and civil servant organizations, according to the first section of the factual background: CCOO, UGT, OSAD, COBAS, Solidaridad Obrera, Confederación Intersindical, CNT, and CGT. The file records that on November 6, 2026, a hearing process was granted to the calling unions to be heard regarding the establishment of minimum services.

The resolution is based on Article 73 of Law 40/2015, of October 1, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector, which grants the Government Delegation competence within its territorial scope, and on Royal Decree 1479/1988, of December 9, which guarantees the maintenance of essential services in strike situations within the scope of the State Administration. The text invokes criteria of proportionality between the services provided and the potential harm to users, and refers the numerical detail to an annex spanning pages 19351 to 19354.
