The Government faces union rejection of the supply of public employment within the General State Administration | Economy | EUROtoday

The Government has referred to as on public service unions this Wednesday to current its supply of recent jobs (new entry and inner promotion) within the General State Administration for 2026. However, it’s not anticipated to be a pleasant assembly, for the reason that unions are nearly definitely keen to reject the proposal, as they did final 12 months. In 2025, union organizations thought of the provision of 36,600 locations inadequate.

They come to the assembly with a standard criticism forward of them: the Government has not supplied them with figures to have the ability to negotiate they usually anticipate that the plan might be very inadequate to cowl the wants of public providers. UGT has already introduced that it “will not endorse” this public job supply, whereas CC OO and CSIF attend this Wednesday’s assembly with robust misgivings about supporting the Executive’s proposal, in response to the union sources consulted.

Thus, the three essential union facilities of the General Negotiation Table of the General Administration of the State reproach these liable for Government personnel for not having actual negotiation within the preparatory conferences which were held in latest weeks. “The Ministry has only conveyed to the union organizations the general lines of the public employment offer (known in the sector as OPE) for 2026, without providing figures,” the UGT public providers federation denounces in a press release. Given this, the union assures that “it has demanded (unsuccessfully) to know an approximate quantification of the positions that will be offered as well as the bodies and scales to which they will address, since the lack of data prevents real negotiation.”

In truth, the employees’ representatives discredit the Secretary of State for Public Functions that this Wednesday it would current the main points of its figures and can shut the negotiation on the identical assembly. The facilities doubt that the Executive, which has beforehand introduced to them that the supply might be much like final 12 months’s, goes to create web employment with its proposal, since they haven’t supplied them with the figures of the casualties that may happen as a result of quite a few deliberate retirements. In CC OO they’re ready to know the ultimate determine, however like in UGT, they warn of a doable rejection: “If the Government does not provide the necessary data to know if net employment will be created, the unions will reject the offer again, like last year,” they point out.

What’s extra, at CC OO, they warn that they might solely settle for the supply if it considerably improved final 12 months’s supply to deal with the extraordinary regularization course of for immigrants that simply began this week. The identical unrest exists within the union of CSIF officers, the place they categorical warning, but in addition demand to confirm, with figures, that web employment will really be created and that this might be adequate to bolster the employees of SEPE, Social Security, the General Directorate of Traffic or Penitentiary Institutions.

In addition, union officers strongly criticize the truth that greater than 9,000 positions for labor personnel included within the 2023, 2024 and 2025 provides haven’t but been introduced (5,765 new entrants and three,328 inner promotions). There can be the circumstance that these locations expire three years after being referred to as, so they may start to be misplaced. Union sources have indicated that public service negotiators have dedicated to convening the gathered supply for 2023 and 2024 inside two months, however in addition they categorical doubts about this dedication.
