Análisis del V AENC en la trayectoria de la negociación interconfederal

Abstract

This paper analyses the V Agreement for Employment and Collective Bargaining, taking into consideration the historical path of the interconfederal agreements and, especially, its contextualisation in a broader process of social dialogue that also includes tripartism. Thus, the innovations of the agreement and its interrelation with the labour reform of 2021 are studied. In this regard, the analysis highlights the recovery of the centrality of sectoral collective bargaining, in line with what was previously agreed in the tripartite social dialogue. Attention is also drawn to the abandonment of the policy of wage moderation, placing the emphasis on the recovery of the purchasing power of wages. Finally, beyond the dialogue with the government, the social partners have devoted a significant part of their time to the digital, technological and ecological transitions, with a lack of ambition in the treatment of content with regard to the latter.
