For journalists and the media

The labour context,
from official source data.

When a labour issue hits the news, telling it rigorously calls for context: what framework the agreement sets, how it has evolved in recent negotiations and what conditions apply in the sector. That context is public — it is in the official gazettes — but scattered and in PDFs. Here it is organised, year by year and with its source linked, to document the story and avoid “according to sources”.

Context to tell a labour story well

What helps a labour story be documented and well situated, without speculating.

THE AGREED FRAMEWORK

What the agreement sets, without speculating

The base salary and the supplements the agreement establishes, category by category, with its source. A frame of reference — not an individual payslip or estimates from “industry sources”.

THE NEGOTIATION

How we got here

Tables by year, revisions and agreed increases: the evolution that explains a dispute. The context behind “two years without an update” or “3% after a long negotiation”.

THE SECTOR

The conditions of a sector, in context

What the agreed conditions look like in a sector or territory — national, regional and provincial agreements of the same scope — to situate a story without taking it out of context.

Not fluent in the small print of a Spanish agreement? That is normal

You do not need to be a specialist in Spanish labour relations to report rigorously: we take care of that part.

  • CLEAR

    The figure, explained

    Categories, allowances, pro-rating, seniority, sick-pay top-ups… The agreement speaks in technical terms; we translate it into what it really means, so you do not confuse one item with another.

  • REAL

    Verified figures, not hearsay

    Every number comes from the official gazette and carries its link. You bring real, checkable data, not “they are said to earn…”.

  • CONTEXT

    Comparisons that hold up

    We prepare the comparison properly — same job, same year, same source — and flag the nuances (that an agreement salary is not the real payslip) so the piece is fair.

“Tell us what you are covering and we send the information back digested: what the agreement says, what has changed and what it compares with.”

Frequently asked questions

Can I cite this data in a news story?

Yes. Every figure comes from the official gazette (the BOE or the regional/provincial bulletins) and the agreement’s page gives the exact link to the resolution, so you can cite the primary source or write “according to the agreement published in…”.

Is the agreement salary what a worker actually earns?

Not exactly, and it is worth making clear to avoid misleading readers: the agreement sets a FRAMEWORK (minimum base salary and supplements by category). A person’s real payslip also depends on their seniority, company allowances, working hours and specific situation. That is why we publish the agreed framework with its source, not individual payslips.

The agreement in my story is not published on the website — what do I do?

Write to us with the sector or scope and the topic you are covering: we prioritise agreements in the news and send you back the agreed framework with its official source as soon as possible.
