Our Spanish member álvarezlentner represented the sole association of employers of industrial cold factories (ALDEFE) during the negotiation of the new National Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which will apply until 31st December 2026.
Among the most significant updates agreed upon between ALDEFE and the trade unions (UGT and CCOO), we highlight the following:
- The annual working hours are not reduced, nor are vacation days increased.
- Salaries will progressively increase over the three-year period, reaching a total of 13% (less than 5% per year).
- A minimum on-call compensation of EUR 30/day will be included in the CBA, standardizing what was previously paid in the sector to avoid abusive competitive practices.
- Companies will be required to have an insurance that covers compensation for death, severe disability, and total or absolute permanent incapacity, resulting solely from work related accidents, amounting to EUR 20,000.
- Inclusive language will be used in the CBA to represent all workers, and the parties commit to planning measures for equality and against discrimination of the LGTBIQ+ community in the coming months.
