PLEX Additional 0,5% Salary Increase for 2023

All of the trade unions present at the meeting emphasized the urgent need to start developing the PLEX Working Conditions Agreement of 2008, and requested the Administration's commitment to set up a meeting schedule that may allow us to resume the study of the Administration-Trade Union’s Agreement of 1990, as a basis for the ordinary salary revision, a fact-based analysis of the staffing needs overseas, as well as a professional classification system and the possibility of horizontal internal promotion, as key elements to ensure talent retention and career development within the Spanish Foreign Service.

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY, RISK PREVENTION AND HEALTH PROTECTION FOR THE SPANISH FOREIGN SERVICE'S STAFF.

CCOO-Exterior has published a guide that includes the basic principles of risk prevention in the field of the Foreign Service. This tool is designed to make visible and raise awareness of the importance of this matter. We have produced it in Spanish, English and French in order to reach as many colleagues as possible.

Additionally, our team will provide assistance and guidance in cases of work-related accidents, occupational accidents, occupational illnesses, situations of harassment or psychosocial risks at the workplace, etc. Furthermore, we will provide the necessary support and use all the instruments and competences within our reach to report and correct any violation of the Occupational Risk Prevention regulation.

La Transición hacia una nueva normalidad

INFO. NOTE No. 5 - Progressive and Gradual Return to On-site Work - Transition to the "New Normal"

As an attempt to defend the rights of the General State Administration ́s staff abroad and due to the hesitation and concern regarding the way in which these measures and guidelines must be implemented at each workplace, this Union Section has reminded the Directorate General of the Foreign Service that this Resolution applies to the entire General State Administration, thus affecting all Foreign Service personnel without distinction. We have also stressed that under no circumstances should these criteria be given the status of mere guiding instructions.

INF. NOTE No. 2 - Update on COVID-19 Global Health Emergency.

Quarantine or preventive isolation periods that affect staff working under Spanish Social Security terms will be considered as temporarily inability to work (Incapacidad Temporal I.T.), so their salaries will not be reduced in any way. Regarding locally hired workers under different social security systems which may not provide the same level of remuneration guarantee, their situations will be considered in the same way as paid leaves in order to prevent partial or total loss of salaries.

NEW COURT RULING AGAINST THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, EUROPEAN UNION AND COOPERATION FOR THE SUBSTANTIAL MODIFICATION OF WORKING CONDITIONS: COURTS RULE IN FAVOUR OF CCOO ONCE AGAIN

The court ruling is in favour of CCOO and confirms that the Argentinian annual salary supplement cannot be paid in the way the Ministry interprets the law. The Ministry cannot take a part of employees’ monthly salaries to pay for the annual salary supplement, because this monthly redistribution of their salary is a change in workers’ salary structure, which implies a substantial modification of working conditions.
