ELA warns that the salary increase for civil servants means a “loss of purchasing power”.

Date:

And according to the CCOO and UGT unions, the Council of Ministers will tomorrow approve the 2% salary increase for government employees, scheduled for 2024.

Following the announcement of the 2% salary increase for civil servants, the ELA union has warned that this proposal “represents a loss of purchasing power for the third consecutive year”. According to the union, this would mean a loss of 1.1% if approved.

As proposed by the Workers’ Committees and the UGT, the Council of Ministers will approve on Tuesday the planned 2% salary increase for government employees for this year, with retroactive effect from January 1.

For its part, ELA has criticized the approach and warned that this decision would mean a loss of purchasing power that would be added to that of previous years: “If the institutions and political parties of Euskal Herria adopt this proposal, the loss of purchasing power will only pass three years the equity will be higher than 6%.”

And, as the union explained, the loss of power was 3% in 2022 and 2.2% in 2023. If the proposal is implemented, the loss will be 1.1% in 2024.
