Asedas

Asedas is a prominent employers' association in Spain, representing a significant portion (75%) of the food distribution sector. Its members collectively employ approximately 344,000 individuals. Asedas is newsworthy due to its role in the Spanish labor market, particularly concerning employment conditions within supermarkets. Recent discussions highlight the sector's high rate of stable employment contracts (up to 90%) and the various collective agreements in place. Furthermore, the rise of supermarket in-store dining options, sometimes referred to as 'mercaurantes', is impacting the food service industry, offering affordable meal alternatives. This development places Asedas members at the center of discussions about competition and consumer behavior within both the retail and food service sectors, making them relevant to current economic and social trends.
