Spain's soccer players are threatening to strike over unpaid wages.

The players' union said Monday the dispute could affect games in the top four divisions between April 16-19. The strike would disrupt 10 games in the top division's 33rd round of games, including Real Madrid vs. Valencia and Espanyol vs. Barcelona.

Most of the players owed wages play in the lower tiers. The union said in a statement a majority of players back a possible work stoppage.

The union adds that it is willing to continue talks but is also ready to stop playing.
