Overview
- Factories in Cádiz resumed operations on June 28 after unions and the provincial metal employers’ federation reached a provisional agreement.
- The pact, agreed on June 27 by CCOO, UGT and FEMCA, trims the collective agreement’s duration to 2031 and removes new-entrant contracts for inexperienced workers.
- Mediators from the Junta de Andalucía’s SERCLA office broke a four-day deadlock at the Andalusian Labor Relations Council in Sevilla.
- An earlier pre-agreement between UGT and FEMCA had been rejected by CCOO, CGT and most worker assemblies, highlighting intra-union divisions.
- Negotiators will draft the full collective agreement through July even as minority unions continue limited protests at key road and factory entrances.
