This comes after having already paid a <a href="https://www.arabalears.cat/societat/consell-mallorca-demanara-parlament-limitar-cotxes-lloguer-capacitat-carreteres_1_5179747.html" >load study</a> which was presented in October 2024 and which states that almost 400,000 vehicles entered Mallorca in 2023. The island councilor for Territory, Mobility and Infrastructure, Fernando Rubio, has justified that the data extracted will allow "a much more detailed load study, with data, and will reassure the sector of <em>It's expensive. </em>who has requested it and it's understandable that they want more specific data." </p>]]></description>

A week after the agreement between the UGT and the employers' association, the CCOO (Working Council of Workers' Unions) hasn't given up on its demands. "The 13.5% increase doesn't justify the rollback of certain rights," says the union's general secretary. <a href="https://www.arabalears.cat/etiquetes/ccoo/" >CCOO Baleares</a>José Luis García. The union considers it "unacceptable" that sick leave coverage has worsened and that the sixth day of work has been "sold out." This is even more so in a context where the CCOO (Working Council of Workers) was seeking a 15% pay increase.</p>]]></description>

According to the union, these cases "are not unjustified absences—or absenteeism—but rather rights protected by the system."</p>]]></description>
