The government’s agreement to increase the salaries of its more than three million civil servants by 9.5% between 2022 and 2024 is subject to CSIF, which still finds the offer “inadequate”.
The cabinet is one step away from reaching a multi-year agreement on the salaries of civil servants, the first since 2018. The remuneration of the more than three million civil servants to 9.5%. It thus ties in with the yes 1 that UGT already announced last Thursday, after the meeting they had with the department led by María Jesús Montero.
The agreement is now in the hands of CSIF, the other majority union in this group participating in the negotiations on the Public Function Table. At the moment he is reluctant to lend his support, considering the proposal “inadequate” and has urged the Executive to make an “extra effort” and increase the raise to double digits. This afternoon they will hold a new meeting in which the pact or disagreement must be concretized.
Specifically, the Executive has agreed to review the initial 2% increase foreseen in this year’s budgets and grant them an additional 1.5% for the escalation of prices, an increase that is retroactive from January 1 will work and they will pay it before the end of 2022. As a result, the civil servants will receive an average wage of more than 500 euros, for which the State is allocating more than 5,000 million euros.
For 2023, the executive has put on the table a fixed 2.5% increase for administration workers, which could go up to 3.5%, depending on how the economy and inflation do. So if the harmonized CPI for 2022 and 2023 is above 6%, they have a variable of 0.5%. If nominal GDP reaches 5.9% in 2023, they will in turn get another 0.5% more. Both would work retroactively and would take solace from their payroll.
For 2024, the Treasury offers a fixed increase of 2% plus a variable of half a percentage point if the harmonized CPI for 2022, 2023 and 2024 is higher than 8%. It will also be retroactive and consolidable.
