The Government assures the unions that it will raise the salary of civil servants by 5% in 2027

The Spanish government has assured unions of a 5% salary increase for public employees in 2027, despite upcoming elections. This increase will be implemented in two phases, starting with a 4.5% raise on January 1, 2027, followed by a 0.5% adjustment based on inflation. Unions are urging the government to approve the initial raise before the elections on November 29. Additionally, the government is preparing reforms to dismiss public managers who misuse temporary contracts. Unions are also advocating for changes to the replacement rate model and improvements in compensation for public service personnel.
