“Salaries are commensurate with their talent.” This is the point where the collective agreement is stuck because, although since F-League They ensure that clubs cannot accept the minimum salary demanded by soccer players, the Futpro union defends in its latest statement that “the five unions continue to maintain a firm proposal regarding the minimum wage so that the soccer players in our country have salaries commensurate with their talent.”
Employers propose a minimum salary of 20,000 euros, which can be extended up to a maximum of 23,000, but the unions will not provide a minimum of 23,000 euros. That is the existing distance that led to the strike that was called this weekend on the first day of League F. The competition will not be able to start and both parties will meet for next Tuesday to try another possibility of agreement that could avoid that the second day was not played.
It’s difficult but not impossible. After a marathon meeting of more than ten hours last Wednesday, an agreement on the renewal of the collective agreement between the Women’s Professional League and the unions could not be reached Futpro, AFE, Futbolistas ON, UGT AND CC.OO. which is part of the negotiation table.
The situation remains blocked. The footballers are not ready to accept the proposal presented by the League for this season regarding the minimum salary, which is a major obstacle in the negotiations. The employer offers 20,000 euros per year – the current minimum salary is 16,000 euros – and the option to reach 23,000 in the same 2023-2024 season, depending on the commercial sale of League F. Anything related in the income above The 8 million euros in this matter will be used to try to reach 23,000 euros annually. For their part, the unions’ alternative is to start with 23,000 euros for this season with the possibility of reaching 25,000 if there are benefits from television rights. In this case, it will start at 25,000 euros for this season to reach 30,000 next. However, the offer was rejected by the entity led by Beatriz Álvarez.
“Striking today is like shooting yourself in the foot,” the president declared. “We have made all our efforts in action, we have exercised full loyalty to the unions. “They keep saying that it is not viable, they block it,” added the president, who assured that “this is as far as we can go, what we cannot do is not be responsible when it comes to making the competition viable. There are clubs that cannot take more.
The unions, after consulting the soccer players, rejected the proposal. It’s not just a matter of money, it can be and act like professionals. In fact, it is a difference of 3,000 euros that prevents reaching an agreement, an obstacle that is currently insurmountable.
The minimum wage agreement will allow other important issues to be addressed such as conciliation, maternity rights, the review of the harassment protocol or training rights, among others, to renew the collective agreement once and for all. The season should start today, Friday, with a match between Sevilla and UDG Tenerife, which remains suspenseful in a women’s game without a break, but
The F League cannot start this weekend.

It is surprising and saddening to us . the position of the employers during the negotiations, who at all times have been steadfastly immobile in the face of the proposal made by the unions . As we report through various statements from 2022, we consider that the numbers we request in our proposal the economy is completely affordable due to the economic dimension of F League”.
