CC.OO., LAB and UGT are taking the proposal to the meeting because they see no setbacks. For its part, ELA says it is insufficient, although it does not rule out consultation with its affiliates.

The unions that form the union majority at the negotiating table of the Bizkaia Metal Agreement have agreed to accept the new proposal presented by the Basque government at the third meeting of the mediation process between the parties, promoted by the Director of Vitoria-Gasteiz.
The unions that make up this majority, CC.OO. , LAB and UGT, have ruled that the new offer of the mediators “has no setbacks” and that “the progress it includes is due to the struggle of the workers in the sector and the 11-day strike”, they say issued a statement at the end of the meeting.
For this reason, they have decided to transfer the new proposal to their affiliated assemblies so that they are the ones who decide on it.
The ELA union has indicated that there is a “very minor variance” in the executive’s proposal and that it still “appears inadequate and far from its objectives”. Union sources have assured that no decision has yet been made on whether to take it to a meeting, though they acknowledge they will need to speak to their members.
The new proposal from the mediators appointed by the Basque government proposes an agreement for the period 2022-25 and a salary increase of 15% with a revision clause according to the CPI for each year that the collective agreement is valid.
It also offers subrogation for facility staff, the start of permits and licenses on a business day, and the enjoyment of what the case law establishes, as well as 8 hours of free disposal, 4 of which are non-refundable. It also includes improvements of up to €28,000 in disability and death insurance at work and the inclusion of LGTBEI+ people in harassment protocols.
