Unions CCOO, UGT and CSIF have endorsed the new Framework Agreement for the Improvement of Public Employment and Service to Citizens. The pact sets a multi-year wage path and policy measures designed to strengthen public services. Salary increases will reach approximately 11% cumulatively across 2025–2028, including a retroactive rise of 2.5% for 2025, with further increases in subsequent years and additional variable components linked to inflation.
