Answer

What does a minimum service of 100% mean in a Mallorca lifeguard strike?

A 100% minimum service means authorities require full beach coverage even during strike action. Lifeguards argue that this can weaken the right to strike and leaves little room to cope with illness, holidays or unexpected shortages.
