The agreement between CEOE, UGT and CCOO will include an annual review clause that may lead to an additional increase of up to 1%.
The UGT and CCOO unions and the CEOE employers have reached a tentative agreement to raise wages by 10% over three years: 4% in 2023 and 3% in 2024 and 2025, negotiating sources said.
Likewise, the agreement will contain an annual review clause that may lead to an additional increase of up to 1%, depending on the evolution of prices.
The agreement will also serve as salary advice during collective bargaining.
The preliminary agreement, in which they continue to work, must be ratified by the highest bodies of employers and trade unions. The CEOE convened its executive committee next Monday.
“Regular” refusal
The LAB union is of the opinion that the CCOO, UGT and the CEOE employers have accepted the agreement reached on salary recommendations. Despite this, the union opposed this agreement, stressing that it “does not represent” Basque workers.
Finally, he stressed that today’s agreement “does not propose any kind of salary increase for 2022 and that the CPI is not guaranteed with the planned salary increases for 2023, 2024 and 2025.”

The trade union ELA for its part was in agreement with LAB’s assessment. And it is that they also believe that the wage increase recommendations that the UGT and CCOO agreed with the CEOE employers are “well below inflation”. And therefore “they do not serve to halt the impoverishment of the working class”.
ELA, the majority union in Euskadi, has confirmed that it will “continue to defend wage increases that prevent the impoverishment of workers”, for which “it will continue to push for confrontation”.
