Comisiones Obreras has announced that it will propose to the Government a raise in the Salario Mínimo Interprofesional exceeding 5% for 2027, describing its proposal as "very offensive" and ambitious.
The general secretary of the union, Unai Sordo, has conditioned the negotiation with the central Executive to a law being passed that prevents SMI increases from being absorbed by bonuses or salary supplements.
Sordo has warned that the union will not sit down to negotiate with the Government in the short term if this condition is not met, setting up a showdown with the Executive on wage policy matters.
The proposal by Comisiones Obreras seeks to guarantee that any minimum wage increase translates into a real increase in the purchasing power of workers, without it being offset by other salary items.
