The unions no longer believe the “false promises” of the Treasury and Public Function and have decided to go to action, with judicial complaints and mobilizations, without even ruling out a general strike of the public service. CSIF has filed a demand for contentious-administrative appeal and in the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) for the “repeated breaches” in the implementation of teleworking in the General State Administration (AGE).
The union accuses public function of inaction in their duties and asks the TSJM to force him to regulate teleworking in the AGE, which means that the regulatory development of the Royal Decree of 2020 is completed in the scope of their competences, in which other measures that remain without seeing the green light are also pending, such as the rules on performance evaluation, improvements in mobility and professional career. In addition, they remember that “we remain pending that they provide concrete figures on the offer of public employment, which remains without realization.” This union accuses Public Function and its owner, Óscar López, of “abandonment of functions in the development of fundamental issues for the working conditions of public employees.”
Along the same lines, CC OO and UGT have convened mobilizations before the non -compliance of the administration with public workers, which will begin next Tuesday, July 8 before the Ministry of Finance, and that will be increasing in their tone and capacity, without ruling out “any scenario”, including the strike. “There is a paralysis that has consequences for public sector workers,” he denounces
In a press conference, the general secretary of UGT Public Services, Isabel Araque, and the CC OO public area coordinator, Lucho Palazzo, who loaded against the Government for breaching both the previous framework agreement and the start of the negotiations for a new pact. They demand that a solution be given to workers who are still waiting for partial retirement for labor personnel, that the 35 -hour day be applied and the improvement of the remuneration of 2025 is approached.
To these issues “without addressing” others are joined as the full implementation of the professional classification model according to the current Spanish framework of professional qualifications; Negotiate the necessary regulatory modifications for the full establishment and development of equality plans and sexual harassment protocols and because of sex. They also ask for the more than three million public workers «to guarantee the face -to -face attention of public services and a specific digitalization plan for the areas of lower population or at risk of exclusion; the creation of net employment in public administrations, reduction of the temporality and rejuvenation of the templates; and promote the digitalization, collection and retention of talent, internal promotion, training and professional career ».
The unions have transferred their discontent with public function by how they are managing the issues that have to do with public employment and, although they have assured that dialogue is “fluid”, they indicate that the ministry and trade union organizations are speaking “different languages.” They have also made it clear that they will not begin to negotiate a new framework agreement without being agreed in the last one.
To all this we must add the last disappointment with the Public Employment Offer (OEP) presented by López. UGT, CSIF and CC OO have rejected the new OEP of 2025 and the Ministry of Public Function has closed the table, so that the Government will approve on its own the new OEP in the Council of Ministers without counting on trade union support. As confirmed by the reason, Oscar López’s ministerial representatives have made an “sovereignly insufficient” offer for CC OO, which “has not completed a sufficient or definitive global figure” in the case of UGT and that, in reality, “reduces the creation of net employment, decreases the offer in internal promotion and maintains the replacement rate” for CSIF.
In principle, the proposal amounts to 20,000 places, 4,500 net employment, less than half than last year and 10% of the places lost in the last 20 years and other thousands “without specifying”, which has caused rejection. “Similar public employment offers would need to recover lost employment,” they criticize from CSIF. Although Public Function had announced that the number of places would be “similar” to the 2024 OEP, of more than 40,000 squares. In the end it has remained in the middle.
From CSIF they criticize that the replacement rate is maintained, “which will prevent reinforcing deficit areas according to real needs and perpetuate the temporality rate, in the state administration.” In addition, they remember that the OEP will contain an additional rate for the Basque Country in the field of justice, which will allow this autonomous community to strengthen its templates above the common criteria for the rest, “which means discrimination for the rest of the administrations and will break the principle of equity.”
