Some good news to start the new year. 

Just before the turn of the year, the Spanish Government (a coalition of left and social democratic parties) passed significant labour reforms, described as the “beginning of the end of labour market anomalies involving temporary and precarious work” by its Employment Minister Yolanda Diaz, who brokered the deal. 

Crucially, the package of measures restores sectoral collective bargaining in law. The news was welcomed by trade unions in Spain as a step forward.Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT) deputy leader Mariano Hoya said:

“This is the first labour reform since Spain became a democracy that restores workers’ rights.”
