AEAT workers demand changes: labor conditions, salaries and workplace policies.

The State Tax Administration Agency (AEAT) in Madrid is facing backlash from its workers, who are calling for improvements in labor conditions and salaries. The protest, which will take place on May 8 in front of the organization’s general management, has been organized by various unions after presenting a collective conflict and meeting with management.

The collective conflict against the tax organization aims to initiate negotiations for a new collective agreement for the workforce. The previous agreement has been denounced for a year and a half, and the agreement for the professional career has been pending development since 2007. 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.

In addition to salary demands, 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.
