Alicante firefighters reach preliminary agreement, may end pressure tactics

Firefighters in Alicante, Spain, have reached a preliminary agreement with the provincial government, potentially ending pressure tactics after a long dispute. This could resolve the conflict. The "pre-agreement" on working conditions was reached after nearly eighty days of conflict, involving the president of the Diputación and the union representatives. The agreement must be ratified by the workers' assembly. The firefighters' demands included updated labor agreements and addressing staffing concerns. The agreement, if ratified, would allow for summer safety measures and improved resource management.
