]]>«I can almost confirm that the Balearic Islands will not be able to pay the increase in December,» said the spokesman of the Executive, Antoni Costa, at the press conference after the Consell de Govern.
According to his argument, the payrolls for the last month of the year in the Autonomous Community are made on December 5 and the processing of the payment of the agreed amounts has not been finalized.
«The will of the Balearic Government is to pay as quickly as possible, but I do not think it is possible that in the December payroll we can proceed with the payment of these amounts,» he said, adding that the Executive «needs time».
He also criticized the fact that the decision «has been delayed so long», wondering if «an agreement could not have been reached earlier».

]]>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.
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».
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.
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).

]]>This increase will benefit the 72,000 public workers in the Balearic Islands and will be distributed in a rise of 2.5% for this year; 1.5% for 2026, with an additional variable of 0.5% linked to the evolution of the CPI; 4.5% for 2027 and 2% for 2028, according to union sources.
This year’s increase of 2.5% will be paid in December with retroactive effect from January 1. For 2026, what has been agreed is a fixed wage increase of 1.5%, to which a further half a point would be added if inflation at the end of the year equals or exceeds the fixed 1.5% increase.
If so, this additional 0.5% would be paid in the first quarter of 2027 with retroactive effect. The 2026 increase is the only increase that will have a fixed and variable part, all the others will be exclusively fixed.
Although for the 2025-2028 period as a whole the agreed increase is 11%, the unions estimate that, due to the dragging effect of the different salary increases in each year, the cumulative salary increase that public employees will experience in those four years could reach 11.5%.
While UGT and CSIF have given their approval to the agreement, the CCOO has assured that, at this time, they do not support it. It is expected that the agreement -whether or not CCOO is in it- will be signed this Thursday.
«The Ministry for Digital Transformation and the Civil Service has reached an agreement in principle with two of the main trade union centers, UGT and CSIF, and is waiting for CCOO to also be part of it. This agreement represents a breakthrough for public servants and also guarantees the purchasing power of public employees until 2028,» stressed the Department headed by Óscar López in a note.
This pre-agreement has been reached after a new meeting, the second this week, of the Secretary of State for Public Function, Consuelo Sánchez Naranjo, with representatives of CCOO, UGT and CSIF, to address a new multi-year pact for salary improvements and working conditions for public employees.
The agreement also incorporates several improvements in the working conditions of civil servants, such as the elimination of the replacement rate, the streamlining of selection processes and the reinforcement of public service staff, among other aspects.
CSIF defends that the wage agreement reached is«the best possible in the current political circumstances» and means, on the one hand, ending the wage freeze that civil servants were suffering this year and the recovery of 2.9% of the purchasing power that the group had lost.
«CSIF subscribes to this agreement as a matter of responsibility and commitment to public employees. We have achieved the best possible agreement taking into account the difficulties the country is going through, the political instability, the budget blockade and the economic limitations of the European Union and NATO for defense spending,» says the union presided by Miguel Borra.
The parties have agreed to set up a monitoring committee to ensure compliance with the agreed measures within a maximum period of 15 days from the signing of the agreement. Thus, CSIF has stressed that the agreement «is not a blank check» and that it will ensure compliance «in time and form», reserving «all measures to ensure its effective implementation».
The general secretary of UGT Public Services, Isabel Araque, said after Wednesday’s meeting, that it is «a great agreement», with which «not only public employees win», but also that » the quality of the public sector wins, the citizens win and the country in general wins».
Araque stressed that the salary increase agreed with the Ministry, 11.5% if salary slippages are taken into account, guarantees purchasing power and around 2.9% recovery of the purchasing power lost by civil servants.
Thus, in addition to salary improvements, UGT and CSIF have explained that the agreement with the Government includes the elimination of the current rate of replacement of vacancies to favor the reinforcement of the staff in the areas most in need and reduce the hiring of temporary personnel; the reduction of the deadlines for the selective processes in the public employment offers so that their final resolution does not exceed one year, and the extension and improvement of both internal promotion and mobility.
Likewise, it has been agreed to adapt the job classification, adapting it to the actual functions, taking into account the experience and the qualifying training requirements, and to promote exclusive and differentiated processes of internal promotion of selective courses, strengthening merit-based competitions through the establishment of the open and permanent competition.
The text of the agreement also includes the revision and increase, throughout 2026, of the residence and insularity complements and of the compensations for reasons of service, eliminating inequalities among public employees; the reinforcement of the public attention staff; the updating of leaves and improvements in conciliation matters; the reinforcement of occupational health protection, with psychological support measures and measures against aggressions; salary updates for external labor personnel; improvements in the area of retirement, and the reinforcement of the health quality of the Mutualismo Administrativo (Muface, Mugeju and Isfas).

]]>CCOO argues that the 4% cap planned for 2025 -with retroactive effect from January- and for 2026 is «insufficient» and that this is the central obstacle to an agreement. In its communiqué, the union has warned that there is «margin to reach a meeting point», although it keeps on the table the possibility of mobilizations if the Government maintains its approach.
For its part, CSIF shares the concern about the first two years of the wage cycle and warns that, if the Executive does not modify the 4% ceiling, «we will have to return to the streets». The union will consult the content negotiated with its internal bodies, but argues that the text presented by the Civil Service is «improvable in many aspects».
The Ministry’s proposal includes a total increase of 11%, one point more than its initial offer, in addition to a Royal Decree-Law that would allow a 2.5% increase corresponding to 2025 to be paid in December, effective January 1.
The Civil Service proposes that the increase be entirely fixed, without the variable tranches of the previous agreement, which could raise the real increase to 11.45% due to the sliding of the tables, according to negotiating sources.
During Monday’s meeting, UGT proposed moving half a point of the increase from 2027 to 2026 to reinforce next year’s increase, going from 5% to 4.5% in 2027 and raising the previous year. The Government rejected this possibility on the understanding that it would compromise the agreed four-year framework. UGT is, for now, the only organization that endorses the text, although it admits that «there are still some details to be closed».
The salary revision would affect all administrations -State, communities and municipalities-, including public employees in Ibiza and Formentera, who also maintain their own claims such as the update of the insularity bonus, a claim endorsed at Monday’s meeting.
CSIF stresses that the Ministry has accepted historical measures, such as eliminating the replacement rate, improving internal promotion, updating the amounts for insularity and reason for service after two decades frozen and strengthening Muface healthcare.
The Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Function, Óscar López, has defended that «the increase has been proposed taking into account the evolution of inflation», with the aim of avoiding loss of purchasing power. According to López, «the Government has always practiced social dialogue», although the negotiation is progressing with marked differences.
The last salary pact, in force between 2022 and 2024, allowed salaries to be raised by around 10%, combining fixed and variable tranches, at a cost of around 13 billion.

]]>The 11% wage increase offered by the Government would be fixed, that is, it would not have variable components as in the previous agreement, which, according to CCOO, could bring the total wage increase to 11.45% between 2025 and 2028 with the sliding of the wage tables.
According to CCOO, the main stumbling block to the agreement is the percentage wage increase that the Executive offers for this year 2025 (with retroactive effect from January) and for 2026, which would be capped at 4% for both years, something that this union considers«insufficient«.
«CCOO will continue in the negotiation out of responsibility and because it is confident that there is room to achieve a meeting point, although no scenario is ruled out if the immobility on the part of the Government persists, such as resuming mobilizations and calling a strike throughout the public sector,» the union said in a statement.
The parties will meet again next Wednesday at 6 p.m. for further negotiations.
For its part, CSIF has stated that it will consult with the union’s bodies on the content of what has been negotiated with the Civil Service, although it considers that the Ministry’s proposal is«improvable in many aspects».
«Our organization continues to negotiate for a possible agreement to improve the working conditions of all public employees, who have almost a year with their salary frozen. CSIF with its contributions is improving the text and we will negotiate until the last minute to achieve the best possible agreement,» stressed the union of Miguel Borra.
In this sense, according to CSIF, the Ministry of Óscar López has accepted «fundamental» issues for the union, such as the elimination of the vacancy replacement rate; improvements in internal promotion; raising the amounts for insularity and for reasons of service (food and lodging), «which had not been updated for two decades», and improving health care in Muface.
«From CSIF, we value these aspects and will analyze the agreement as a whole. We believe that with political will we can reach an agreement to end a situation of neglect and precariousness of our public employees, which has been entrenched for too long, both in terms of wages and working conditions,» defends CSIF.
For its part, UGT Public Services already endorsed last Thursday the 11% salary proposal presented by the Ministry, after raising by one point the initial offer of a 10% increase until 2028 that it made to the unions and which they all rejected.
The secretary general of UGT Public Services, Isabel Araque, indicated after today’s meeting that, following the modifications introduced by the Public Function, the trade union organizations have made assessments and contributions.
Among them, the possibility of moving a half-point wage increase from 2027 to 2026, i.e. from a 5% wage increase to 4.5% in 2027 to increase by half a point that of 2026, to which the government has refused.
Araque has stressed that the Department headed by Óscar López maintains the «ceiling» wage increase of 11% for the four years and 4% for 2025 and 2026 and, despite the progress, there are «bangs» pending in the negotiation, for which they have been convened for next Wednesday.
Monday’s marathon meeting, which lasted more than five hours, was chaired by the Secretary of State for Civil Service, Consuelo Sánchez Naranjo, and is part of the negotiations initiated by the Ministry with CCOO, UGT and CSIF to address a multi-year framework with salary and labor improvements for the more than three million public employees.
This same Monday, the Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Function, Óscar López, has stated that the 11% salary increase for civil servants in the period 2025-2028 that has been offered to the unions has been made taking into account the evolution of inflation for this year and the following three years so that the collective does not lose purchasing power.
«The Government is coherent. The Government has always practiced social dialogue, it has always reached agreements with the unions,» said López in statements to Antena 3 reported by Europa Press.
«We are talking about civil servants not losing purchasing power, we are talking about inflation for these four years,» the minister stressed.
The last salary agreement between the Government and the unions was in force between 2022-2024, and provided for salary increases with a fixed and variable part. This pact made it possible to raise civil servants’ salaries in this period by around 10% (when it was signed, in the fall of 2022, inflation was then at 10%), which implied an expenditure of close to 13,000 million euros.
