The general secretaries of the UGT and CCOO, Pepe Alvarez and Unai Sordothey have urged the CEOE employers to close a salary agreement this May Day or otherwise, they have warned, there will be strikes and mobilizations.
“Either there is a wage agreement or the unions will organize, not convene, mobilization days in autumn“, warned the general secretary of CCOO, at the press conference prior to the May Day demonstration.
Sordo has advanced that these mobilizations, of a general nature, “will take the form of a strike” in those sectors with collective agreements “blocked“.
“The CEOE has to know that time is shortening; either there is an agreement or there will be a conflict,” warned Álvarez, who added that the conflict “You know how it starts, but you don’t know how it ends.”
Likewise, the UGE leader has insisted that this May Day must serve to “consolidate achievements such as the labor reform or the pension reform”.
“CEOE has to decide if it wants an agile collective bargaining, with significant salary increases (…) or if it prefers to do it from the conflict“, Sordo has settled, while Álvarez has pointed out that if the employers value social peace, they must be aware that this “requires an effort” by the business side.
under the motto “Raise wages, lower prices, distribute benefits”, UGT and CCOO have put at the center this year the need to increase salaries in the face of a price escalation after which they point to “excess business profits.”
The leaders of CCOO and UGT in Madrid, Paloma Lopez and Marina PrietoIn their speech, they have criticized the inequality suffered by Madrid and have asked the people of Madrid to bet on the public sphere and on “more fair” taxation in the next elections.
