UGT union wants minimum wage above 1,000 euros in 2027
The UGT trade union has formally demanded that the national minimum wage be increased to over 1,000 euros starting in January 2027, surpassing the 970-euro target currently set in the tripartite agreement. Additionally, the union is calling for a 5.5% salary increase benchmark across collective bargaining negotiations for 2027.
