Overview
- The three-year deal covering 2025–2027 raises pay 4% in 2025, 3% in 2026 and 3% in 2027, with retroactive effect to January 1 and a CPI guarantee that prevents loss of purchasing power.
- The agreement rules out absorption or compensation of the increases, addressing a key union demand on protecting complements and bonuses.
- Annual working time will be cut by eight hours, moving from 1,750 hours to 1,746 in 2026 and 1,742 in 2027.
- Usual bonuses will be paid during vacations, and workers on sick leave due to workplace accidents will receive a 100% pay supplement after the fourth day.
- Reached at 04:22 after a 15-hour mediation by Catalonia’s labor directorate, the preagreement affects roughly 200,000 workers across about 14,000 companies and now awaits formal approval.
