TIB workers called a strike—first on specific days and then indefinitely—which ended in open confrontation between union representatives (SATI) and management. "They fled like rats," the workers' representatives once said of the fruitless attempts to reach an agreement. Convinced they must continue to defend their rights, they have created a strike fund to compensate for the loss of income during the strike. After eight months of negotiations, they are demanding an 8.5% pay raise to recover the purchasing power lost in recent years due to inflation and to regulate their working hours to ensure drivers' rest breaks. This Thursday afternoon, however, the parties reached an agreement in principle to call off the TIB strike. How did they get to this situation? The factors are multiple: an increase in travelers without the means to serve them, a lack of foresight, the effects of overcrowding, and work-related stress due to anxiety, among other causes.

The SATI union and the employers' association reached an agreement in principle this Thursday, after meeting again at the Arbitration and Mediation Court (Tamib) of the Balearic Islands. However, the agreement must be ratified at an assembly. Meanwhile, the protests continued, and this Thursday afternoon, workers gathered again at the Intermodal Station. During the event, they displayed banners and chanted slogans such as "We are not their slaves," "Exploiters," and "They want to silence us" to express their dissatisfaction.

The TIB workers' strike registered a 94% follow-up rate this Thursday, the day the union and employers will meet again at the Balearic Islands Mediation and Arbitration Tribunal (TAMIB) to try to reach an agreement.

TIB workers, on an indefinite strike since last Friday, protested today at the Palma airport bus stop and distributed leaflets to passengers with their main demands. They continue their protests, explaining in writing in English and Spanish that they are on strike because their employment situation "borders on precariousness," forcing them to work more than 12 hours a day, or because they want "a fair pay rise," as their wages "have been frozen for more than a decade."

The indefinite strike by intercity bus drivers in the Balearic Islands continued this Saturday, its second day of protests, with no significant incidents, a minimum service coverage of 60%, and no new negotiation meeting between the employers and the Autonomous Union of Transport of the Balearic Islands (SATI), the organizer of the protest.

TIB workers began their indefinite strike this Friday after failing to reach an agreement with the concessionaires to resolve the dispute. The day began with a protest rally at the Palma Intermodal Station. During the protest, the workers staged a parody of the employers with a coffin bearing the words "RIP collective agreement."
