Briefing
The specific figure of 2.57 per cent strike participation in the Comunitat Valenciana for 11 November 2026 cannot be substantiated following a targeted review. No primary source giving this specific percentage was found on the websites or in the official statements of the Confederación Empresarial de la Comunitat Valenciana (CEV), or in key press releases. By contrast, official publications on the minimum services put in place and union assessments of the action are available.
The Boletín Oficial del Estado published on 7 November 2026 the Orden TED/1180/2026 and other orders setting out minimum services for various sectors ahead of the general strike on 11 November. These orders set out procedures and mandatory staffing levels, but contain no assessment or overall statistics on strike participation in an Autonomous Community. The Generalitat Valenciana also published its own orders on regional minimum services for health, transport and education.
The trade unions Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) and Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT) reported provisional, sector-specific observations on the morning of 11 November, including very high levels of stoppages in ports and parts of industry. Regional media reported local disruption to transport and logistics operations around Valencia. Such figures should be understood as union estimates or local observations and do not automatically amount to a validated, comprehensive statistical picture.
Until the CEV or another reliable institution publishes a corresponding statement with its methodology, the figure of 2.57 per cent remains unsubstantiated. Future reports should clearly distinguish between: a) officially ordered minimum services (Orden TED/1180/2026), b) union estimates for subsectors and c) independent, verifiable assessments. Without a primary source from the employers’ side, it is not responsible to repeat the stated percentage.
