MADRID (Reuters) – Spain’s main unions and representatives of employers reached a preliminary agreement on Friday to grant a 4% wage increase across the board in 2023, El Pais newspaper reported, citing unidentified sources close to the negotiation. <\/p>\n

The agreement also included wage increases of 3% in 2024 and in 2025, the newspaper as well as other Spanish media reported.<\/p>\n

Inflation rose in Spain in 2022 by an average of 8.4%, while wages barely grew by 3%, which has resulted in a sharp loss of purchasing power for workers.<\/p>\n

The government has been urging employers and unions to reach this agreement for months.<\/p>\n

Spokespersons for the unions and the employers told Reuters on Friday that the talks were still underway.<\/p>\n
