The agreement promotes employment stability: a worker who has served for three years at the Peoi 2 level is automatically promoted to the Peoi 1 level, and from Specialist 2 to Specialist 1, with the corresponding salary review. Furthermore, the company must negotiate a professional development system, a competency assessment model, and an internal promotion procedure within a twelve-month period.

In the area of equality, the agreement includes the LGTBI annex in accordance with Law 4/2023 and Royal Decree 1026/2024 regulations, along with a protocol to combat harassment and discrimination. The Ethical Channel will be the means for receiving complaints, and the investigation will be completed within a maximum of three months, extendable for another three months.

The agreement regulates the working conditions of the Usoa Workshop until December 31, 2027, and there will be an automatic denunciation from October 1, 2027. Fixing the conditions of a special employment center’s staff for four years provides legal stability to the workers and the company, and protects the activity aimed at the professional integration of people with disabilities.
