The Independent Trade Union and Civil Servants’ Central (CSIF) announced this Monday mobilizations at the Tax Agency (AEAT) for the improvement of the staff’s working conditions. The calendar of these mobilizations includes partial strikes and a general strike in all workplaces for next June 8.
Specifically, and coinciding with the income tax campaign, CSIF has called for a concentration in front of the State Secretariat of Finance for next May 6. Subsequently, on May 13 and 29, it will hold one-hour partial strikes in AEAT workplaces, culminating on June 8 with a general strike, reports Europa Press.
CSIF has assured in a statement that it will try to minimize the consequences that all these mobilizations may cause to citizens.

The union led by Miguel Borra has filed a dispute against the AEAT for keeping the negotiation of different issues regarding working conditions “blocked”, such as the implementation of administrative and professional career paths, the regulation of teleworking, or that the staff of the Customs Surveillance Service (SVA) be considered a high-risk profession.
In this regard, CSIF recalls that in 2024 an agreement was signed with the AEAT that included all these commitments, without any progress having been made since then. Two years ago, they already criticized that “in the last six years, the management has dedicated itself to freezing collective bargaining and, however, has discretionally raised the salaries of those who earn the most.” For this reason, CSIF has decided to file a dispute with the Tax Agency, asking it to initiate negotiations to unblock the situation.
