“Macrodemanda contra El Corte Inglés en sus almacenes de logística”, 25 August 2025

…This is the case of the logistics employees of El Corte Inglés at its largest warehouse in Spain, in Valdemoro (Madrid). Up to 212 employees at this center—which, along with the centers in Montornés del Vallés (Barcelona) and Villaverde (Madrid), distributes merchandise for the chain's more than one hundred shopping centers—have filed a lawsuit to demand labor rights.

“We work under a trade agreement when we do logistics, which means we don't get a bonus for working at heights, operating heavy machinery, or working at temperatures over 30 degrees moving merchandise, among other things,” one of the workers who filed the lawsuit told El Salto. He prefers to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals. He explains that the lawsuit, to which this outlet has had access, cites the unions currently representing these workers: Comisiones Obreras, Fetico, and Valorian, as interested parties. “We have filed a complaint to have our agreement changed, since the unions are company-owned and do nothing,” one worker complains, specifying that when the change in agreement was signed, the CCOO (Workers' Commissions), the Workers' Commissions (CCOO), and the Valorian (Valorian Workers' Commissions) were not yet part of the committee.

…

"A year and a half ago, seeing that Valorian and Fetico weren't doing anything, we, the workers, met together and decided to file a lawsuit," he comments, explaining that in the end, 212 workers filed complaints, but that the number could have reached 500 if they had had more time to gather the necessary documentation for the legal process. The goal, he says, is to have the logistics agreement applied instead of the trade agreement, which, in addition to everything previously claimed, would restore their right to receive pay on Sundays and holidays as non-working days.
