# The strike reaches a 90% follow-up rate in the port sector of Valencia, according to the unions

> Unions CCOO and UGT said a general strike had 90% participation across Valencia’s port sector, highlighting the ports of Valencia and Algeciras. Minimum services require 50% operation for essential raw-material and supply cargoes, full coverage for emergencies and certain perishable or dangerous goods, and at least half of port access routes to remain open.

## Why it matters

The strike may slow cargo handling and disrupt the timing of commodity deliveries through affected Spanish ports, though minimum-service requirements limit the interruption. Any freight or supply impact is likely localized and temporary.
