CCCO pointed out a 30% increase in Inditex’s group profits year-on-year: “CCOO understands that this must revert to the staff who are the ones who have made it possible.”
The union body is looking to negotiate on maturity management, bonuses, health and safety, store closures, and work-life balance proposals among other issues.

“For CCOO, it is essential to establish negotiation frameworks where the interests of all Inditex Group staff in all territories are defended.”
