The second vice president and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, has asked the Prosecutor’s Office and the Ombudsman to act against the latest agreement for civil servants and labor personnel of the Community of Madrid, considering that it may restrict the right to protest by public workers in the region.
Specifically, it is about agreement of the Sectoral Table of Administration and Services Official Personnelrelating to the working conditions of Madrid civil servants, approved on December 11 and published in the Official Community Gazette (BOCM) on December 23.
As explained to Europa Press Sources from the Ministry of Labor, article 10 and the tenth additional provision of this agreement “open the door” so that in the event that strikes, concentrations or demonstrations are called by signatory unions, the administration can agree to the “suspension of the implementation of the horizontal professional career, including the interruption of its remuneration effects” of the staff at your service.
The Ministry of Labor expresses in the letters sent this Friday to both institutions that a clause of this nature “punishes the exercise of fundamental rights” such as those of assembly, demonstration or freedom of expression, constitutes an “obvious attack” on fundamental rights.
They also criticize the aforementioned sources that imply a “degradation of democratic participation” of workers “even more striking”, if possible, when it occurs in the collective agreements that govern the labor relations of public employees of an Autonomous Community, in this case of Madrid.
Labor adds that it is a peace clause that “exceeds what is admissible” for this type of obligatory content, generating effects beyond the signatory organizations and generating “astonishing negative consequences” for workers beyond what is provided in Article 5 of the Organic Law on Freedom of Association.
The Ministry points out that the agreement and the agreement can be “challenged” because they “violate” the current constitutional legality and “seriously harm” the interest of third parties. In this way, Labor has proceeded to urge the Prosecutor’s Office to carry out the appropriate procedures to challenge the collective agreement, as well as any criminal proceedings that may be appropriate.
Labor recalls that it has requested the Prosecutor’s Office and the Ombudsman to act ex officio since they are the competent institutions in the face of the inhibition of the General Directorate of Labor of the Community of Madrid that has published the texts.
The keys to the new agreement
The Executive of Isabel Díaz Ayuso and the unions reached an agreement on November 10 for the implementation of the new agreement-agreement for officials and labor personnel starting next January 1st.

In the words of the Madrid Executive, this program will improve the services provided to citizens and will represent a qualitative leap in the modernization of public employment.
