La jornada de 35 horas avanza en la administración autonómica y local y anticipa conflictos donde aún no se ha implantado
Los empleados públicos regionales de Madrid y Galicia amenazan con movilizaciones, mientras que los de Cataluña ya negocian la reducción del tiempo de trabajo
On April 15th, the Government approved a 35-hour weekly workday for the 250,000 employees in the General Administration of State (AGE). This new standard hoped to bring relief to local and autonomous entity officials, who comprise more than three million public sector workers in Spain. Many of these employees have yet to adopt this extended workweek, viewing it as a non-negotiable point in their negotiations.
As a result, its implementation and impact have sparked debates and negotiations across various territories. Meanwhile, some regions with pending applications have threatened strikes or work stoppages should their demands remain unmet.
It is worth noting that this 35-hour workweek agreement does not apply to the Army, the National Police, or the Civil Guard. These groups, accounting for approximately 284,000 workers, are bound by their respective specific regulations. The Ministry of Defense, headed by Margarita Robles, is currently processing a tailored modification to grant these 123,500 armed forces personnel the same right to a 35-hour workweek. However, this modification remains in the process of being reviewed.
