The union UGT Public Services in the Balearic Islands will hold this Friday an assembly in Palma to detail the agreement reached with the central government that involves a salary increase for civil servants of the General Administration of the State and the update of the insularity bonus for staff stationed on the islands, including Ibiza and Formentera.
As reported by the union, the meeting will take place at 10.00 am in the auditorium of its headquarters in Palma. The secretary general of UGT Public Services in the Balearic Islands, Miguel Ángel Romero, will be in charge of explaining the details of the pact.
Assembly to explain the agreement
Romero will explain that, by virtue of the agreement, the public personnel will receive a 9% more in 13 months and that the insularity bonus of the civil servants of the State assigned to the Balearic Islands will be updated to be equal to the one received by the public employees in the Canary Islands.
“We have achieved it,” celebrated the union leader on Thursday, who stressed that this is the answer to a “historical, hard-fought and hard-fought” demand.
The head of UGT has argued that the agreement will improve public employment, cover more positions and, consequently, provide better care to citizens. He also stressed that the presence in the work centers will be guaranteed so that citizens “have a face in front of them, services will be humanized, the selection of personnel will be improved and the selective processes will be shortened”.
11% raise until 2028 for more than three million public employees
The convening of the assembly is part of the multi-year agreement closed on Wednesday night between the Ministry of Civil Service and the unions UGT and CSIF -CCOO has yet to pronounce itself- to increase the salary of more than three million public employees by 11% in the period 2025-2028.
The increase will be distributed as 2.5% for this year; 1.5% in 2026, with an additional 0.5% linked to the CPI; 4.5% in 2027 and 2% in 2028, according to union sources.
Other covenant commitments
The text also includes the review and increase in 2026 of the residence and insularity allowances and of the indemnities for reasons of service, with the aim of eliminating inequalities among public employees.
It also provides for the reinforcement of customer service staff, the updating of leave and improvements in reconciliation, occupational health protection measures -including psychological support and protection against assaults-, improvements in retirement, salary updates for employees working abroad and the reinforcement of the health quality of the Mutualismo Administrativo ( Muface, Mugeju and Isfas).
