The negotiation of collective agreements It has been an important issue to be considered by employees who handle this material in different work activities and it has gained status thanks to the fact that they are negotiations that are highly discussed by the negotiators and that they take a long time to reach an agreement, until they are signed.
They are labor agreements that are in charge of controlling and regulating the use of metal in different localities of the country, which are planned and organized by different negotiators within the region and reach a mutual agreement in a certain time.
The the main objective is: simplify the collective bargaining in the metal sector, objective that unions and employers have set themselves, for which they have signed the agreement known as the metallurgical industry labor agreement, a document that includes the negotiation of common issues for the control of occupational risks and equality measures within the companies, which leaves for the moment, for the provincial level, other matters such as salary or work organization.
Why is there an agreement to control the use of common materials?
Contracting modalities, annual working hours and conditions of equality; Here are some issues that metal entrepreneurs and community unions will only negotiate once from now, compared to three times before: in the agreements of Huesca, Teruel and Zaragoza.
This will help simplify and unify collective bargainingSince in these matters they were common, and at the same time common, they were not the object of conflict, but rather provincial negotiations of the agreements.
Issues such as salary or overtime remain exclusive to the provincial level. With the framework agreement of the Aragon metallurgical industry The first step towards the future is marked, so that one day there will be a unique agreement within the community. A sector that includes among others the automotive industry, foundry, plumbing or repair shops, and that employs some 40,000 people in the community. Little by little, pages are added to the agreement to cover increasingly important topics.
The different conventions that have been carried out for the control and regulation of the different activities associated with the use of metal in different regions, They have come to work in good shape and a great reason for some negotiations that are carried out to control professional rights, as well as the obligations that one has to be a worker and handle a material such as metal.
Different collective agreements related to the regulation of the use of the metal function as a control towards the performance of various activities, such as plumbing, hardware, jewelry, lighting, etc.
There are obviously similarities in the various metal conventions that have been signed by the negotiators, and these are remarkable similarities, but it must also be mentioned that the differences between the different localities in which these agreements are formulated and signed are notable.
What is specifically regulated in metal collective agreements?
There are a few different rules and various treaties that are discussed within the negotiations towards the collective agreements, which help to closely monitor and regulate activities in which metal plays an important role. What is mainly sought is to control the use, the conditions in which the activities are carried out, productivity and production time, all so that the worker follows these rules to the letter to be safe as long as it is carried out the activity or work.
Employees must have a thorough understanding of these agreements, their rules, the validity and the time in which they must be fulfilled. The different labor agreements refer to different conditions, and depending on the locality or region in which the worker is located, the application or validity of the labor agreement will be different.

I was enrolled industry's first state agreement, which helps solidify collective bargaining in different regions of the country.

The UGT also mentions that "it includes novel aspects such as ultra-activity or the validity agreed in the lower-level agreements, which will not allow any agreement to decline, relegating what was approved in the labor reform."

The important thing here is that, despite the fact that a provincial agreement was affected by the validity or term of the contract, they will continue to provide their frequent salary to employees and working women in the region, preventing people from being affected by a situation like these in which they are completely unaware of the causes.

Reasons that prevented the collective agreement
Some of the main reasons that led to the delay in signing the agreements were immediately resolved. In spite of everything, there are others that were the most difficult to fix.
The conflict provoked due to the difference in common salaries was one of the most important reasons that caused a conflict within the agreements, as well as the seniority regulation, since as of January 1, 2015 there was a seniority supplement and it had been agreed upon since the year 2007.
After a year and two months of negotiation and several meetings, an agreement was materialized, which later leads to the signing of the collective agreement. It was signed by employee commissions, being justified by CCOO, which has the 70% of the negotiation.
