City drivers in Barcelona are in a bad mood this season and the Grinch had better watch himself. It seems these folks have to work six days per week instead of the usual five everywhere else (something which seems a bit strange for western Europe). Apparently there was some damage to the buses while stations were spray painted with solidarity slogans.

Bus drivers in Barcelona have called a strike for 21-24 December and 2-4 January, demanding a second day of leave per week. Currently, bus drivers have to work six days a week. Workers with the anarcho-syndicalist union, Confederacion General de Treball (CGT) agreed to go on strike to press their demands against the owner, (Metropolitan Transport Barcelona) TMB, allowing only minimum services needed to connect neighborhoods without other transportation options. (The CGT contact below seems to be down.)
