Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT)

The Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT) is a major Spanish trade union. Recent news highlights its involvement in key labor negotiations. Specifically, UGT, along with other unions, has secured an agreement with the Spanish government to reduce the working hours of central government employees to 35 hours per week, benefiting approximately 250,000 public sector workers. This agreement was reached at the negotiating table of the General State Administration (AGE). While UGT is not explicitly mentioned in the Aemet article, the article does highlight the broader context of union activity in Spain, particularly regarding labor disputes and negotiations with government agencies. UGT's participation in the 35-hour work week agreement demonstrates its continued relevance and influence in shaping labor policies and improving working conditions for employees in Spain.
