Private security companies: 80% to 90% minimum service levels required during 11 November 2026 strike

The State Secretariat for Security has determined the minimum staffing levels required for private security services during the general strike on 11 November 2026. Minimum activity levels have been established to ensure the operation of critical infrastructure and the protection of media outlets (Art. 3 of RD 524/2002). The resolution aims to balance the right to strike with the necessity of maintaining essential services for the community.

In 3 key points

  1. Services in critical infrastructure (airports, ports, metro, etc.): minimum 90% (art. 4)
  2. Media outlets and headquarters: minimum 80% (art. 2.1.h)
  3. The strike will take place on 11 November 2026 (título)

How it affects those involved

Social media and news outlets must maintain at least 80% of their services (Art. 2.1.h).
