Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would let members of the National Police Corps freely join interprofessional or class unions, not only corporate unions, with the limits set by the Freedom of Association Law. It would also recognize their right to collective bargaining and collective disputes, but would ban strikes and substitute actions.
  2. Police officers holding union positions could not face forced transfers, promotion delays or other measures harming their working conditions because of their union activity.
  3. The bill would create a sectoral bargaining table for the National Police as a permanent collective bargaining body, and the Police Council would submit proposals and review its agreements.
  4. The bill would adjust the police disciplinary rules: non-uniformed protest actions that do not disrupt services would not be punishable, and blocking subordinates' freedom of association would be a serious offense.
  5. Members of the security forces would still be unable to strike, but could take protest labor actions that do not disrupt services and are carried out without a uniform.
  6. The bill would give Civil Guard professional associations more time off, full-time releases and an annual credit tied to membership. The law would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
