Andorran Municipal Workers Demand Salary Harmonisation and Updated Conditions
Workers from multiple parishes unite in second meeting to address pay disparities, varying hours from 37-40 weekly, and regulatory delays across.
Key Points
- Disparities in triennial pay increments and weekly hours (37-40) between communes.
- Delays in updating municipal traffic agent regulations to current laws.
- Lack of inter-parish coordination and progress on compensation rules.
- Plans for ongoing joint efforts and April meeting.
Municipal workers from several Andorran parishes have called for updated salary scales and greater harmonisation of working conditions, highlighting disparities between communes during a second coordination meeting on Monday.
Representatives from unions SITCOLAMA and SITCA, the Ordino workers' platform, and delegates from Escaldes-Engordany gathered to address longstanding inconsistencies. Key issues included variations in triennial pay increments and weekly working hours, which currently range from 37 to 40 hours across different communes.
Participants also criticised delays in adapting regulations for municipal traffic agents to comply with current legislation, as well as a lack of progress in inter-parish coordination. Other concerns raised were the need to update compensation rules and advance career development frameworks within local administrations.
The group agreed to maintain joint efforts, strengthen union coordination, and schedule another meeting in April to continue discussions.
