claim wage increases 2% in the agreements negotiated this year

CCOO and UGT
claim wage increases of 2% in the 3,000 agreements must be negotiated this year, after failing to reach an agreement with business organizations to renew the national agreement for Collective Bargaining ( ANC) in 2009, as announced at a press conference Ignacio Fernandez Toxo and Candido Mendez.

Nearly 3,000 collective agreements, covering some three million workers, have to negotiate this year in our country, but unlike the previous 7 years, CCOO and UGT, and employers have not reached agreement on the criteria to be followed in collective bargaining. As noted

Toxo, more than 8 million workers who already have an agreement, being somewhat less than 3 million who have yet their collective bargaining, so rather than the quantitative aspect, the ANC is important as a sign of normality in labor relations.

"The unions have made more efforts and initiatives and proposals presented, credible and sensible in the current situation of the country, as the 2% wage increase," said Toxo, for whom "the salary was not what prevented the deal." "Wages are important to people and the economic situation, the lower wages a depression in consumption, which can only hasten the destruction of employment and economic fabric," he added.

Toxo According to the claim linking employers in collective bargaining with the global scenario of social dialogue has been what has actually broken the ANC. "In recent days, the employer has proposed a maximum, unaffordable for an agreement, with proposals to reduce the cost of dismissal, a subject that is not for the ANC, and down 3 points to social security, which would produce a Social Security deficit, and in this year of 9 billion euros, and that within 10 years the pension system would ruin our country. And all this when negotiating renewal in Parliament of the Toledo Pact, "he said.

Ultimately, "we believe that what the employer seeks is the deterioration of collective labor relations, so we appeal to business organizations to build among all the alternatives necessary to overcome the difficult situation," concluded Toxo.
