AEAT workers in Madrid are rallying on May 8th to demand improvements in labor conditions and salaries. Collective conflict against the tax organization has been organized by various unions, who have been fighting for a new collective agreement since 2007. The previous agreement has been denounced for a year and a half, and the management of the AEAT has proposed to convene the Negotiating Commission to discuss general lines for a potential new agreement.
However, union representatives are critical of the management’s freeze on collective bargaining while increasing salaries for higher-ranking employees. They are demanding a review of productivity to ensure fair treatment for all staff members. The AEAT claims to be willing to meet periodically to clarify legal and technical aspects for updating the Administrative and Professional Career model.
The staff of the AEAT is also seeking developments in teleworking policies and negotiation of telephone services in the mornings. These demands have not been adequately addressed by the organization. The unions are also advocating for a review of the Performance Evaluation model to address issues related to horizontal career development and payment of supplements.
