Pérez Toledo has been especially critical of the labor conflict that has been experienced in Biscayan companies in the last year, just at the moment when the Spanish business organization, CEOE, has reached an agreement with the UGT and CC OO to establish a framework for salary increases that contemplates an increase of 10% in three years and also a review of up to one point per year. Those responsible for Cebek have highlighted that “the agreements signed in Bizkaia this year contemplate an average increase of 4.16%”, which places them above the 4% contemplated in that CEOE framework agreement, but they are also aware that the ELA and LAB’s rejection of this pact will mean very limited effectiveness in Euskadi.

«The strike cannot be the first resource to be used. It is a right, of course, but it should be the last step in the event that the negotiations have not been successfully completed”, Pérez Toledo has indicated. The president of Cebek has criticized the fact that breaking records for days on strike is valued as something positive, to admit that «with the union majority -in direct reference to ELA and LAB- it is more difficult to reach agreements. They are unions of struggle and confrontation and they are not for sitting down to talk and negotiate, “she added.
In a similar vein, he referred to the high percentage of work absenteeism that is registered in the Basque Country and that places us at 21 days per employee and year of absence from work. A situation that, he has claimed, “it is necessary to analyze in detail to find solutions.” In this sense, he welcomed the fact that the agreement reached by CEOE with the UGT and CCOO contemplates that from now on the mutuals will act on some casualties. The general secretary of Cebek, Francisco Javier Azpiazu, has also announced that before the end of the year a study will be presented on labor absenteeism in the Basque Country, which is being prepared at the social dialogue table, in which, in addition to employers, sit the Basque Government and the unions UGT and CC OO.
