Agreements have just been signed for two PSA facilities in Spain. They both contain the same salary increase framework that depends on the Group’s European earnings, and a similar mechanism in terms of recourse to flexible working via Saturday working. However the agreement at the Vigo, Galicia facility was only signed by the in-house trade union, SIT-FSI, with the other union bodies refusing to sign what they considered to be an inadequate text. In contrast, the Madrid text was taken as guaranteeing management’s commitment to the facility’s on-going industrial viability and was signed by all unions except for the anarchist CGT body.
The main thrusts of the 2020-2023 agreements are as follows:
Jobs and employment. The Vigo agreement intends for 1,050 new stable employment contracts, 350 of which will be on a permanent employment contract basis, 350 that will transition from part-time to full-time, and a final 350, which currently on an irregular work pattern will transition to full-time.
The Madrid agreement intends for 29 new permanent employment contracts as well as 14 part-time positions that will transition to full-time.
