Seven independent trade unions have joined forces to promote greater diversity of opinion, amid the so-called ‘duopoly’ of the CCOO and UGT, the two leading forces that dominate the union landscape in Spain. They are calling for reforms to legislation that they believe “consolidates” the unfair balance of power in favour of the two largest unions.
An initiative to regenerate the trade union movement. Spain’s USO trade union, Fetico (federation of independent workers in commerce), SATSE (nursing professionals), ANPE (teaching professionals), CSL (local security), Gestha (tax administration workers), and CCP (confederation of managers) have jointly presented a ‘pluralistic union platform’, an initiative to promote union diversity in an environment where worker representation is chiefly dominated by the CCOO and UGT, the largest trade unions in the country.
