Telefónica increases its redundancy plan to 2,892 departures and improves its salary increase offer

Telefónica presented a new proposal to the unions on Tuesday for the voluntary redundancy plan (PSI) that raises the maximum number of affiliated workers to 2,892, 139 more than the 2,753 provided for in the previous proposal offered, according to sources from the company informed Servimedia. .

The increase is due to the fact that the company has increased the maximum percentage of potential outputs in areas considered critical to 33%, which in the previous proposal was 20%. Regarding the income to be received by those benefiting from the incentive leave plan, it is not modified in this last proposal and 68% of income for those born in 1967).

The company also proposed this Tuesday that the rounding of the percentages will always be in favor of increasing the final adhesions and that priority, in the event of registering a greater number of requests than those established, be given to those born in 1967.

In relation to the new agreement, Telefónica offers a 1.5% increase for 2023, which increases the 1% proposed in the previous meeting, the offer of a bonus of 300 euros is maintained and the commitment to create 400 new jobs is reaffirmed work in the next two years. Within the scope of the Social Employment Plan itself requested by the unions (PSE), the company has promised to present a new text.

universality

The unions insisted with respect to the casualty plan that it be as close as possible to the effective universality of potential adherents. “We ask the company to reconsider the economic offer, avoiding differentiation between groups (although we recognize that the current remuneration offer is higher than what would have corresponded to each case in previous PSI); to increase the maximum adhesion percentages, both in the critical units (33% in the last offer) as well as non-critical ones (now 75%)”, they say from UGT.

The unions propose that there is the possibility that workers who do not meet the minimum number of years of contributions to access retirement at age 65 can extend the corresponding monthly income for the entire time that the worker must remain until the ordinary retirement age. They also propose that those people who, requesting to adhere to this PSI, finally could not accept it, would not be penalized in the case of making new adjustments.
