Local government employers' organisation fails to act

Spain

The FSC-CCOO and FSP-UGT public service federations are bitterly disappointed that the FEMP local government employers' organisation failed to act on the question of renewing collective agreements. New legislation means that collective agreements no renegotiated by 8 July automatically lapse. The unions had asked the FEMP to contact all its member organisations to encourage them to ensure that collective agreements were renegotiated or to go to dispute resolution in the case of a conflict or that a clause should be agreed that would maintain the agreement until a new one could be negotiated. It has emerged that the FEMP didn't send out any circular to its members on this issue. The unions report, however, that agreements have been reached at regional level in Castilla y León, Valencia and Castilla la Mancha.

Unions are keen to negotiate over purchasing power and job security.

Government fails to deliver on public employment and pay

Italy

(October 2016) Despite promises of additional funding to cover public sector employment, the latest figures announced by the government are a major disappointment to all the public sector federations. FP-CGIL, CISL-FP, UIL-PA and UIL-FPL issued a joint statement that attacked the government for its short-sighted policies and failure to provide any opening for serious negotiations on pay, skills, productivity and innovation. The unions will be stepping up their mobilisation beginning with a national protest in Rome on 12 November.
