  • The deal includes minimum annual increases of 56.58 euros or 2.15% for 2026, agreed upon last year.

  • Extension may allow for revisions to the agreement's content, though not guaranteed, affecting all public employees.

  • Plans to review inspection careers and modify the evaluation system are part of the government's broader agenda.

Negotiations Kick Off for Public Administration Wages

Talks between the Government and public administration unions begin this Friday, with the Executive expressing willingness to extend the agreement signed last year by an additional year, covering the entire new legislative term until the end of 2029, according to a government source. Although not guaranteed, this extension leaves open the possibility of revising the agreement's content, which includes minimum annual salary increases applicable to all public sector workers.

Key Elements of the Agreement

The negotiations are based on previously agreed increases of 56.58 euros or 2.15% for 2026. The Government aims to review inspection careers and make changes to the evaluation system, signaling potential adjustments beyond the basic wage hikes.
