CCOO has endorsed the salary proposal presented by the Spanish government for civil servants between 2022 and 2024, as UGT already did last Friday, while CSIF rejects it, as sources from the negotiations reported after Monday’s dialogue table.
The coordinator of the Public Area of Workers Commissions, Humberto Muñoz, has confirmed via video that the union has decided to accept the proposal from the Ministry of Finance and Public Functions, with a salary increase for civil servants that “could reach up to 9 .5% over the term of the agreement 2022-2024”.
However, CCOO has acknowledged in a statement that, despite the organization’s approval, the salary increase is still “inadequate”.
The portfolio led by María Jesús Montero has offered public employees a 9.5% salary increase, including a 1.5% retroactive increase for 2022 and review clauses for 2023 and 2024.
The Spanish government expected a reaction from the unions to that offer next Monday, which only met resistance from CSIF. His secretary for Union Action, Francisco Lama, stressed after this morning’s meeting that Montero’s offer “is inadequate for two fundamental reasons.”
“The economic proposal doesn’t even correct the inflation it will close this year with, and in terms of working conditions, there are a lot of things that should be in the document for our organization,” Lama told media.
For its part, the UGT has already confirmed, after Thursday afternoon’s negotiations, that it would “in all likelihood” approve the Treasury’s offer and the Federal Council unanimously ratified it on Friday.
The general secretary of UGT Public Services, Julio La Cuerda, then insisted that the agreement between the government and officials will be “good news for all citizens”, and not just for employees of public administrations.
After Monday’s meeting, Union Action Secretary of UGT Public Services Isabel Araque reiterated that the union “supports this agreement out of consistency, realism and responsibility”.
Rise in Euskadic
In Euskadi, the Minister of Economy and Finance, Pedro Azpiazu, last week reminded that the Basque government cannot include in its budgets a salary increase for its civil servants beyond what has been set for the state as a whole.
Azpiazu said, “if it’s 3.5%, we need to raise 3.5%, we’re limited by the state’s maximum increase.”
He acknowledged that the Basque government could appoint fewer Basque officials than has been set for all of Spain, but clarified that they will not do so because they “want to preserve the purchasing power of all workers and also of the officials.” “.
