Who Pays the Bill? Why Mallorca's Gas Station Strike Is More Than a Wage Dispute

Answer

Why are gas station workers in Spain and Mallorca going on strike?

The strike is mainly about pay and working conditions. Workers and unions say wages have not kept up with the reality of living and working costs, especially in places like Mallorca where rent and transport needs are high. The dispute also reflects changing job duties, with more responsibility but not always better pay.
