F League players continue strike for first two days

“The member unions of the social negotiation bank Modify and improve the Collective Agreement for Major League players (FUTPRO, AFE, Futbolistas ON, CCOO and UGT) decided that the strike should continue for the first two days after meetings at the Confederal Mediation and Arbitration Service (SIMA Foundation) headquarters this week. In the joint statement sent by AFE, they called it “regular league”.

Five unions are considering “The last economic offer of the F League is unacceptable”All of them therefore continue to offer “a firm recommendation on the minimum wage that should be applied” so that Spanish footballers “are salaries appropriate to their abilities”. “We were surprised and saddened by the attitude of the employers, who were always inactive in the face of the proposals made by the unions, during the negotiations.”

The social bank insisted that they had presented figures on the minimum wage “from 2022” that were “fully affordable given the economic size of the F League”.There is 42 million euro in commercial assets and 35 million euro in television rights “insured income”. And 22.5 million with state contribution.

Five unions said they made a proposal at Wednesday’s meeting to try to remedy the situation. “Find a one-year salary deal to cancel the job” to hit And let’s continue the collective bargaining negotiations”however, employers “after two days of mediation, have been virtually motionless in their proposal for a 20,000 euro salary for this season and have promised to revise the minimum wage again if this campaign yields more than 8m euros in business assets,” in which case it can only go up to 23,000.

“The unions believe that any point agreed in the collective agreement should not be subject to a company’s commercial gains because a worker’s rights are not a commercial entity.”

However, they have tried to lower their bids for this season in a “last effort”, “given the inactivity of the employers and in order to reach a common ground that will benefit football activity”.“The possibility of reaching 23,000 Euros by abandoning the retrospectiveness of the 2022-2023 season, and 25,000 Euros if this campaign exceeds 8 million benefits”.

He stressed that the current minimum wage since 2019 is 16,000 euros, “However, the F League refused to accept an amount higher than 20,000 euros, which made negotiation impossible.” up to 18,554″.

Only the minimum wage was discussed.

The social bank pointed out that in meetings with the F League this week “only the minimum wage for players was discussed” and “no other clauses of the Collective Agreement were negotiated”. That’s where they had it in May” because they thought it was “primarily” given the “recession in this regard in recent months”.I agree on this part before further negotiating other benefits“.

“After meeting with F League players yesterday Wednesday, they consider the employer’s offer unacceptable and are upset that they have to continue the strike.” Even though we have reduced the initial bid to 23,000 Euros per year, let’s not forget that this means less fees for the main arbitrators.“, complained of the unions.

They underline that this is an “important moment to defend the right to work” of Spanish football players and to “commit that the institutions that make up the women’s football industry are committed to their development and to the well-being of the heroes”. “Social bank affiliate unions hope that this attitude of employers can change and a proposal can be made at the level of football players we play in our country.”
