The staff of the State Tax Administration Agency (AEAT) has supported this Monday the 24-hour strike promoted by CSIF, as reported by the union itself, with the aim of demanding staff reinforcement, better working conditions, and the fulfillment of agreements already signed with the organization.
From the union, they have underlined the "majority support for the strike" in the Tax Agency. "The call for stoppages has been a success despite the abusive minimum services they have established for the Income Campaign," CSIF indicated in a message disseminated on the social network 'X'.
On May 6, the union demonstrated in front of the Secretariat of State for Finance, and protests were maintained on May 13 and last Friday, with a partial one-hour strike and demonstrations in front of the Tax Agency's delegations throughout the country.
CSIF had planned to close this cycle of protests on June 8 with a strike in all workplaces, but the union's delegate at the Tax Agency, Agustín Muñoz, warned this Monday that actions will continue "if the agreements are not met."
The 24-hour strike began at midnight on Sunday and will conclude at midnight this Monday, June 8. The call covers about 28,000 AEAT employees, distributed among offices, headquarters, territorial and special delegations, as well as other workplaces spread across Spain.
In addition, at 11:00 AM, CSIF has organized demonstrations in front of the special delegations of the Tax Agency in all autonomous communities.
For their part, sources from the Tax Agency have told Europa Press that the day has proceeded normally in citizen service, with a follow-up that they place around 6% or 7%.
The protests against the Tax Agency respond to the "blockage" of negotiations in various areas related to working conditions, such as the implementation of an administrative and professional career, the regulation of teleworking, or the recognition of the staff of the Customs Surveillance Service (SVA) as a high-risk profession.
The union recalled that in 2024 an agreement was signed with the Tax Agency by which it committed to reviewing the professional career of all staff, a process that, according to CSIF, has remained paralyzed since 2019, with the consequent loss of remuneration.
Likewise, CSIF denounces the staff shortage and warns that the workforce is overwhelmed. Currently, around 28,000 people work at the Tax Agency and, according to the union's calculations based on OECD studies, "at a minimum to have an effective structure in the fight against fraud" between 32,000 and 33,000 employees would be necessary.
