Josep Ginesta will represent Pimec on the National Commission for Collective Bargaining Agreements
Joining this entity represents a new step for the Catalan business organization to become part of the social dialogue at the state level.
BarcelonaThe Secretary General of Pimec, Josep Ginesta, will represent the organization on the Collective Bargaining Agreements Advisory Committee. The Second Vice President and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, has signed the order allocating the positions of representatives of this social dialogue body at the state level. Six representatives correspond to employers' organizations in total, one of which is from Pimec.
The order, published in Official State Gazette (BOE) establishes that the CEOE and Cepyme will have five positions, assigned by the ministry in order of seniority. The positions will be filled by Ana Herráez Plaza, Luis Méndez, José Manuel Ayesa, Diego Carril, and María José Leguina. The sixth will be filled by Pimec.
In addition, Teresa Díaz de Terán, Beatriz Nogués, Arturo Cerveró, Miguel Carlos Canales, and Karina Pereira have been named as alternate members of CEOE and Cepyme. On behalf of Pimec, its alternate member will be Silvia Miró i Martín, director of the Pimec Work Area.
On April 10, the Ministry of Labor published an order in the Official State Gazette (BOE) confirming Pimec's legitimacy to form part of the National Advisory Committee on Collective Bargaining Agreements as the most representative organization at the regional level. As a result, the members of CEOE and Cepyme have been dismissed. These two organizations have challenged the decision in the National Court..
In the April order, the ministry gave the three business organizations—CEOE, Cepyme, and Pimec—a 10-day deadline to notify the Directorate General of Labor of the "unanimous agreement" on the distribution of the six positions in the group of business entities. Five were held by the CEOE and one by Cepyme.
