After a year of constructive dialogue and negotiation, Hospiten and the UGT and CCOO unions have signed the new Collective Labor Agreement applicable to the personnel of its four hospitals in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife: the Hospiten Bellevue, Hospiten Rambla, Hospiten Sur and Hospiten Tamaragua University Hospitals, which will be in force for three years (2024-2026) and will affect more than 1,500 of the company's workers.

This agreement is the result of a major effort of understanding between the company and the UGT and CCOO unions, as it manages to homogenize in a single framework the working conditions of the four medical-hospital centers, thus meeting the needs and sensitivities of the entire workforce and strengthening both the unity and the sense of belonging of the workers to the company. This agreement therefore represents a milestone for the company and its employees.

The agreement includes significant advances in labor matters, among which the following stand out:

• Standardization and homogenization of economic conditions for all Hospiten workers in Tenerife:
  • Increase of 10 % in the salary tables throughout its term.
  • Annual salaries guaranteed by professional groups, which represents a higher salary increase for certain groups.
  • Increase and unification of variable payment amounts.
• Reduction of the annual working day by 26 hours during its term.
• Definition of a new salary structure by professional groups that will facilitate polyvalence and professional development.
• Unification and extension of the Temporary Incapacity (TI) supplement to all workers and specific improvements for those with oncological diseases.
• Regulation of forced retirement with employment commitment.

The text also includes the commitment of the company and the UGT and CCOO unions to move forward together in new areas of collaboration, with the setting up of a dialogue table aimed at continuing to increase the reconciliation of the personal, family and working life of workers, while guaranteeing the quality of care and patient care.

The collective bargaining agreement signed represents an important step in the recognition of the work of the employees of our hospitals, . The Company and the signatory unions, UGT and CCOO, understand that this agreement, signed in the private healthcare sector, legitimizes and recognizes the work of the employees of our four hospitals in Tenerife. This milestone lays the foundations for modern labor relations that will allow further progress in social dialogue and in the construction of a project for the professional and personal development of Hospiten employees.
