CCOO and UGT have demanded this Thursday that the Government comply with all the commitments it made in the Framework Agreement for a 21st Century Administration and, given its resignation from processing new General State Budgets for this year, lead to its next Royal Decree -law, not only the 2% salary increase for civil servants, but also other committed measures, such as the partial retirement of civil servant and statutory personnel or the implementation of the 35-hour weekly workday in the General State Administration (AGE ).

The Government has already guaranteed the unions the approval of the promised 2% salary increase by introducing an amendment, by PSOE and Sumar, in the parliamentary processing of the anti-crisis decree.

UGT and CCOO have sent a letter to the Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Function, José Luis Escrivá, to convene the monitoring commission of the framework agreement and ratify their commitments to public employees.

"The current situation adds even more value to the framework agreement, a union agreement signed in October 2022 only by CCOO and UGT, and which, without a doubt, has come to protect our salary in the face of possible political scenarios such as the current ones," they highlighted. the unions in a joint statement.

In addition to the partial retirement of official and statutory personnel and the implementation of the 35 hours in the AGE, CCOO and UGT ask the Government to also approve the adaptation of the Basic Statute of Public Employees regarding permits and vacations and the culmination of the professional classification.
