The labor dispute at the Foundation for Dependency Care is escalating again. Workers are not ruling out further protests due to the delay in implementing the salary increase agreed upon with the government in October, a commitment that ended the indefinite strike at the end of 2025. The workers are concerned about the lack of clarity in the signed agreement, especially regarding the payment of salary supplements and outstanding back pay. The CSIF union, which holds a majority on the committee, warns that the government has not only failed to pay any of the promised amounts but is also continuing to increase its debt to the workers. The agreement stipulated that the arrears corresponding to all of 2025 had to be paid before January 31, 2026. According to the union, the Minister of Families, Social Welfare, and Dependency Care, Sandra Fernández, formally informed the committee of the "complexity" of the reports required by the Directorate General of Public Service. This explanation is considered insufficient and unjustifiable by the workers' representatives, especially given that the salary supplements—which represent an improvement of between 4,200 and 6,300 euros gross per year—are included in the Decree-Law on urgent measures regarding social services, approved by the Governing Council and ratified. "The disappointment has been immense. It's a blatant disregard not only for the workers, but also for the service users and the families of dependent individuals," stated Marina Martínez, president of the inter-center committee, who criticized the government for prioritizing "photo ops" over action. The committee warns that the foundation's situation remains critical and demands the immediate payment of all outstanding benefits, without installments or further delays. If there is no clear and immediate response from the government, the workers warn that they will take to the streets again.

Workers' wages in the Balearic Islands remain below the national average, despite having registered the largest increase in the country since 2007. This is according to the study 'Wage Evolution 2007-2025' prepared by EADA Business School and the consulting firm ICSA Grup, which was presented this Wednesday.

The Governing Council has approved a supplementary credit of €22.3 million to cover payments to IB-Salut staff resulting from the execution of the ruling by the High Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJIB) regarding the salary freezes of 2020 and 2021. This follows the filing of an administrative appeal in 2021 against the Governing Council's Agreement of May 24, 2021, and the final ruling confirming that the salaries of these public employees were frozen without sufficient justification, considering the economic situation in Spain and the Balearic Islands at that time.

In the debate on the state of the region, the president recently placed the demographic issue at the center of the political debate. Population growth—in practice, a subterfuge to avoid directly addressing immigration—has become the center of the debate because part of the political class specializes in creating new problems instead of providing effective solutions to existing ones. In fact, I'll just remind you that just a month ago, the regional government was exposed when the Civil Society Forum revealed the data from the survey by the same government's Tourism Strategy Agency, which indicated that what really bothers a large part of the citizenry is the number of tourists we have.
