The Independent Trade Union and Civil Servants Central (CSIF) has agreed with the Ministry of Finance and Public Function the incorporation of 15,880 new jobs in the Public Administration, which represents an increase of 20% compared to the agreement reached in 2021, in addition to the 4,100 positions established to incorporate interim personnel into the body of civil servants.
Together with the 9,591 places agreed for internal promotion, which represents 1.8% more than in the previous year, the new offer would suppose 29,578 places between new incorporations, promotions and stabilization of the interim. From the CSIF, the most representative union of the Public Administration, they have affirmed that it is a “historic offer”, since it will exceed the figure of 30,000 once the positions of the State Security Forces and Bodies, Armed Forces and Administration of Justice, which are negotiated in their respective areas
After several weeks of negotiation, the Administration has accepted CSIF’s demand to streamline the selection processes (reducing the time it takes to publish calls, the time it takes to incorporate new troops and the time between exercises) and to plan for several years of the needs of the Administration in order to guarantee its viability in the medium term and reduce the personnel deficit.
Likewise, the agreement includes the commitment to review the internal promotion processes in the next three months in order to reduce the agendas of the promotion systems, in addition to saving the grade of the opposition phase for the following promotions in the case of that the interested party does not pass the process.
From the union they value the agreement positively, one more step to alleviate “the lack of personnel in the Public Administration”, although they have highlighted the loss of purchasing power of 15% experienced by public workers and urges that the Government increase the minimum wage to correct the imbalance.
“Our government has to live up to the effort that our public servants have made during this pandemic,” said Miguel Borra, president of the CSIF.
