Paradores Workers Stage Coordinated Protests to Break Four-Year Bargaining Deadlock

Union leaders say four years without an economic proposal has left pay lagging despite strong results.

Overview

  • Staff at all 97 state-owned hotels held concentrations, including Alcalá de Henares and nine sites across Castilla‑La Mancha.
  • CC.OO., UGT and CSIF say management led by Raquel Sánchez has not provided the economic framework needed to negotiate raises after four years of talks.
  • Workers argue pay lags sector benchmarks, with lower categories in Alcalá below Madrid’s hospitality tables, despite a summer of higher profits, strong occupancy and recent investments.
  • The unions’ platform seeks livable wages, full implementation of a pension plan, job stability, guaranteed minimum hours for part‑time roles, better sick‑leave management, partial retirements, reduced hours and earlier shift planning.
  • Union federations are escalating outreach with #PorUnConvenioDignoYA and related hashtags and warn they may call a Christmas strike if no progress is made.
