Comisiones Obreras (CC OO)

Comisiones Obreras (CC OO) is one of the largest trade unions in Spain, actively involved in representing workers' rights and negotiating with the government and employers on labor-related issues. Recent news highlights CC OO's involvement in two key areas. Firstly, they have supported the government's decision to reduce the working hours for civil servants in the central administration to 35 hours per week, a move that will affect approximately 250,000 public employees. Secondly, CC OO has proposed a significant reform to the governance structure of mutual insurance companies (mutuas) within the Social Security system. This proposal, aimed at improving the management of temporary disability leaves and controlling rising benefit costs, suggests removing the employer-led management structure of these organizations. These actions demonstrate CC OO's continued relevance in shaping labor policies and advocating for workers' interests in Spain.
