Overview
- Five unions — PIDE, CSIF, ANPE, UGT and CCOO — have called more than 16,000 educators to walk out and join a central demonstration in Mérida on November 7.
- Union demands include a linear pay rise retroactive to January 2025 and the creation of a review commission to guarantee future parity.
- Leaders say the Education Department could apply an €80 monthly increase in November but insist it falls short of homologation.
- The inter-union spokesperson José Manuel Chapado accused the department of using outdated 2024 data to skew comparisons and called for the resignation of Mercedes Vaquera.
- Unions said they will not take part in other negotiations and skipped today’s sectorial meeting over missing documentation, and they urged staff to refrain from optional duties as a form of protest.
