The secretary general of the Federation of Public Service Employees of UGT, Miguel Angel Romero, has celebrated the agreement reached on Wednesday for the salary increase of civil servants and that includes the equalization of the complement of insularity with the Canary Islands.
“We have achieved it,” said Romero, stressing that this is a response to a “historical, hard-fought and hard-fought” demand.
With this, workers in Ibiza and Formentera could see their monthly salary increase between 190 and 550 euros, depending on their professional group, as a consequence of the double or triple insularity.
The UGT leader emphasized that the agreement will result in an improvement in employment, in that more positions can be filled and, therefore, citizens can be better served.
Also, he added, face-to-face presence in work centers will be guaranteed so that citizens “have a face in front of them, services are humanized, personnel selection is improved and selection processes are shortened”.
“We can only express our satisfaction with the agreement reached,” he concluded.
