The Workers' Commissions re-elects Unai Sordo as general secretary for a final term.

The Workers' Commissions re-elected Unai Sordo as general secretary for another four years. This is his third and final consecutive term, the maximum allowed by the union's bylaws. The election took place at the 13th Confederal Congress of the Workers' Commissions (CC.OO.), held in Madrid, where he was the sole candidate. He was supported at the event by Yolanda Díaz, Second Vice President and Minister of Labor.

Sordo was elected with 96% of the vote . The election was almost unanimous, with 692 votes in favor, 28 abstentions, and none against, according to the Servimedia news agency. No other member of the Workers' Commissions had put forward an alternative candidacy, and his reelection was therefore assumed. The deadline for submitting candidacies closed at noon on Friday, and voting took place just a few hours later, although the results were announced this Saturday, before the closing session of the Confederal Congress.

Thus, the union's statutes establish a maximum of two terms for the general secretary, extendable to a third , as will ultimately be the case with Sordo, after a few years marked by milestones such as the 2021 labor reform agreed upon with UGT, CEOE, Cepyme, and the Ministry of Labor.

Other aspects have not generated as much consensus, such as the reduction of the working day, which the Ministry of Labor agreed solely with the unions, over the opposition of employers, after 11 months of negotiations. However, this measure still has to pass the Congress of Deputies, where it lacks the guaranteed support due to the rejection of Junts.

On the other hand, as Servimedia reports, the approval of a single general resolution was announced at the Congress, so the union appreciates the efforts to reach a consensus among the participants. The document begins by rejecting the "genocide" suffered by Gaza at the hands of Israel and the "occupation" of the Sahara by the Moroccan regime.

It also warns of the rise of "reactionary options" both in Spain and other countries, and demands that citizens' problems "be placed at the center of politics," protecting the most vulnerable. The document also criticizes US President Donald Trump for attempting to dictate the investment and defense policy of all NATO countries, and therefore urges the implementation of an "autonomous" strategy in the European Union that does not have to be based, "far from it," on increasing military spending to 5% of GDP, according to Servimedia.
