The unions and credit cooperatives grouped in Unacc and Asemecc – which includes Caja de Ingenieros, Eurocaja Rural or Laboral Kutxa – have reached a preliminary agreement to apply a salary increase of between 12% and 14%, plus a single payment of 1%, three years (2024-2026). The pact also includes an additional day of vacation structurally in the collective agreement and a 0.5% improvement in seniority in each of the years of validity of the agreement.
“The negotiation has been tough until reaching the pre-agreement in credit cooperatives, but thanks to it we have managed to put an end to the strike on March 22, except in the banking agreement,” FINE explained in a statement after the meeting held this year. Tuesday. In this sense, the organization recalls that they have not yet approached positions with the Spanish Banking Association (AEB), which brings together banks, with which they will hold a meeting this Thursday to avoid a 24-hour strike in the sector.
In the opinion of Federación Fuerza, Independencia y Empleo, the organization led by Alejandra Kindelán maintains an “incomprehensible” attitude, preventing staff from accessing a “real distribution of benefits and increases in their remuneration, as well as managers, shareholders and boards of directors after the accumulated profits.” This mobilization had also been called in the credit cooperative sector, but after said pre-agreement it has been cancelled. Since February, several demonstrations and concentrations of sector employees have been held in different cities.
Now, the unions trust that the banking employers will propose salary increase proposals that, at a minimum, reach those already assumed by other employers in the financial sector, in addition to opening up to negotiation formulas so that all staff receive the agreed increases. CCOO sources call on Banco Santander, BBVA, Banco Sabadell, Deutsche Bank, Bankinter and the rest of the entities to take advantage of this last “opportunity” and avoid a 24-hour strike that aims to have massive monitoring and an escalation of conflict in spring. .

This union insists that the pre-agreement in the savings sector, by which the employees of the banks created by the old savings banks are governed, and in which they are the majority, with a salary increase of 11% in 3 years, should serve as an example and reference.
FINE regrets so many years in which the sector has always been in the political and social spotlight, it has experienced “painful” restructuring processes and staff have lost rights in favor of the viability of their entities, with “devalued” salaries that They represent a serious problem of generational change and a lack of motivation of a staff so punished that they can no longer take it anymore. Since the start of negotiations at the end of 2023, the AEB has twice improved its offer to 9% last week, which would mean a salary increase of 3% in 2024, 2.5% in 2025 and 1 .75% in both 2026 and 2027, after two improvements to its offer from the initial 7% proposed
