The secretary general of the Toledo Business Federation (Fedito), Manuel Madruga, said on Monday that collective bargaining on the nine agreements demanded by the CCOO will not begin until they receive approval. ‘Immediate apology’ for clashes with employers in two negotiations … . It was one last Friday, where The director of the legal department at Fideto was insulted twicewho chaired a negotiating table, and another last week in Ciudad Real, during the negotiations on the mineral agreement, “with Ruthless persecution against the metal boss. “I still feel sorry that we did not act more strongly and complain about those people who terrorized him in this way,” Madruga explained.
For Secretary Videto, these situations should not happen again and he declared this They will ask the Castilla-La Mancha Business Confederation (SECAM) for protection So that it doesn’t happen again. “I will convene an urgent meeting of my administrative body and they will be the ones who have to decide what measures we will adopt. “It could mean that they apologize and commit to not acting in this way again, or, if we have a legal basis, to go to the final consequences,” he added.
Madruga has made these demonstrations yet Demonstration of nearly 200 CCOO delegates in ToledoWhich ended at the doors of Fideto, demanding fair increases in salaries, and denouncing that Toledo is one of the provinces where salaries are below average.
“Union work does not conflict, not even the demonstration in the street, which we see as very good and respect. Then they sit at the negotiating table and do not do what they should do. no We understand this type of demonstration at a time when the negotiating tables are closed.It was closed without any major problems and we are waiting for the opening of negotiations for 2026.

According to Videto’s secretary, “We do not know what the next idea of the Minister of Labor will be, and this makes us very cautious at the collective negotiating tables.” We do not understand that they did not express themselves, for example, to the Ministry of Finance, which permanently and continuously raises the personal income tax for workers, or to the Ministry of Social Security, which permanently and continuously raises contributions for workers, which prevents us, in turn, from being able to increase salaries as we would have liked if we had not stressed this burden.

We have already witnessed in many collective negotiations acts that we can describe as verbal violence against Fideto representatives at those negotiating tables. We’ve seen it time and time again, however “What happened last Friday has exhausted our patience.”Madruja concluded his speech by saying:
