Minimum services for the general strike: Metrovalencia, healthcare, and transport

The Generalitat has established the minimum services that must be maintained during the 24-hour general strike called for Wednesday, November 11, 2026. This is done through the Resolution of November 6, 2026, from the First Vice-Presidency and Department of Housing, Employment, Youth and Equality, published in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat Valenciana number 10490, of November 10, 2026 (DOGV-C-2026-35300). The text guarantees 80% of the operations of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) and 100% of urgent healthcare activity.

The starting point is the notice submitted on October 16, 2026, to the Ministry of Labor and Social Economy by the Intersindical Confederation, the Trade Union Confederation of Comisiones Obreras (CCOO), and the General Union of Workers (UGT), for the 24 hours of November 11. Eight other organizations later joined that call:

• Union of Actors and Actresses, with an extension to November 12 for those whose workday extends.
• General Confederation of Labor (CGT), Single Union of Workers Solidarity Obrera, and the Direct Action Trade Union Organization (OSAD), which allow for the cessation of activity on November 10 in sectors that produce immediate effects on the 11th.
• Intersindical Valenciana, National Confederation of Labor (CNT), Base Commissions Union (co.bas), and Class Trade Union Alternative (ASC), all with specific rules for shift work.

The authority is exercised by the Directorate General of Labor, Cooperativism and Occupational Safety by delegation, under article 10.2 of Royal Decree-Law 17/1977, of March 4. Mediations before the SIMA-FSP held on October 22 and 27, at the request of CNT and co.bas, concluded without an agreement. The resolution only applies to services under regional ownership or jurisdiction.

Metrovalencia and TRAM d’Alacant: 80% of the service

FGV must maintain 80% of the scheduled train and tram service, as there is no alternative public transport due to the strike itself. 2,180 ordinary operations are planned for the day: 1,720 in Metrovalencia—864 metro and 856 tram—and 460 in the TRAM d’Alacant. The company estimates 378,815 trips, 325,989 in the Valencia network and 52,826 in the Alicante network, using November 12, 2025, as a reference. The remaining FGV services are covered at 70%, with centralized customer service at 90%.

The Valencia Metropolitan Transport Authority (ATMV), which serves 1,890,666 inhabitants, will provide 70% of services during off-peak hours and 80% during peak hours, in the time slots from 06:30 to 09:00, 13:30 to 15:30, and 18:30 to 21:00. Regular intercity transport will maintain 55% during peak hours and 40% during other slots; airports, ports, and railway stations in tourist areas, 80%; school transport and transport for workers to their centers, 50%.

Health: emergencies at 100% and hospitals as on a Sunday

In hospitals, services typical of a Sunday will be applied in hospitalization, emergencies, emergency operating rooms, catering, and maintenance. The usual schedule is maintained in dialysis, radiotherapy, ICU and resuscitation, transplants, day hospital, and oncology, while hospital pharmacy, scheduled operating rooms, and home hospitalization remain at 50%, and priority outpatient consultations at 25%.

• SAMU and SVA: 100% of the service.
• SVB and non-urgent sanitary transport: 80%, with priority for oncology patients, diagnostic tests, and hemodialysis.
• Health Centers and clinics: services typical of a Saturday.
• Specialty centers: 25% of the staff for priority consultations.
• Public Health Centers: management, alert veterinary services, slaughterhouse veterinarians, health promotion, and epidemiology.

Education, public attention, and other services

Each public and subsidized educational center will have one person from the management team, without teaching activities, and teacher ratios per stage: one teacher for every four units in Early Childhood and Primary education, and one for every ten in Secondary, Baccalaureate, and Vocational Training (FP). School cafeterias will operate with 60% of the assigned staff, increased to 80% in Early Childhood (0 to 3 years) and Special Education.

In public attention, each general registry service will have one civil servant or public employee. The Valencian Technical Vehicle Inspection Society (SITVAL) will operate with a maximum of 40% of the staff at each center, and elevator maintenance will follow the usual Sunday on-call shifts: one technician for every 1,000 units. The 1 1 2 telephone line will maintain 16 people on the morning and afternoon shifts and 7 on the night shifts, while CACVSA will retain 161 of its 318 personnel.

The resolution obliges the responsible bodies and companies to make the nominal designation of personnel based on objective criteria and after hearing from the strike committees, and warns that such designation cannot expand staffing, functions, or centers. Any modification will require an express resolution motivated by unforeseen circumstances. For the public, the text sets the service floor for the strike day: checking schedules and planning for more travel time will be decisive on November 11.
