Union Proposes Changes to Social Security Fund Governance

The Spanish trade union, Comisiones Obreras (CC OO), has proposed a significant shift in the governance of Spain’s Social Security mutuals. The union argues that these mutuals, which manage temporary disability claims, currently operate with a patronal (employer) direction, and seeks to integrate them fully into the broader Social Security system. This proposal is expected to be a key point of contention in ongoing negotiations with the government and aims to mitigate the impact of worker absences on both worker health and the economy.
