The Government will approve a public employment offer of more than 30,000 jobs

The Government will approve this Tuesday a public employment offer (OEP) of between 39,000 and 40,000 jobs for the General State Administration, the Justice Administration, the National Police, the Civil Guard and the Armed Forces. It will mean a new record of public employment offer, remaining 20% ​​above the 34,151 places of the ordinary offer of last year; which was also an unprecedented public employment offer

To these figures, we must add an additional number of positions called stabilization, that is, conversion of temporary employment into permanent employment. In 2022, there were 10,636.

The Government will approve it this Tuesday in one of the last Councils of Ministers of the legislature and after having reached an agreement yesterday with the CSIF and UGT unions, while, on the other hand, CC.OO. has distanced itself from the consensus arguing lack of data. The truth is that the Treasury is saving the details for Tuesday and the information that it provided to the unions on Monday is limited to this 20% increase compared to 2022, an increase referred to the ordinary offer.

From the unions they recalled that the ordinary offer in the General State Administration last year was 24,600 places, adding those of free entry (15,338) and those of internal promotion (9,261). To this amount were added the stabilization offers (10,636), plus later those corresponding to Justice, the Armed Forces, the Police and the Civil Guard. 2022 global total: 44,787.

To the posts for the General State Administration, it will be necessary to add the increase in those for Justice, the National Police, the Civil Guard and the Armed Forces.

Both CSIF and UGT have given their endorsement to the agreement despite the scarcity of information provided by the Treasury, which is keeping it for today's Council of Ministers. Specifically, CSIF indicates that the places will increase by 20% compared to the offer made last year, with the creation of net employment, above retirements, as the union had been demanding. It also adds that “the offer for C1 and C2 officials will increase by more than 30% and up to 25% for Social Security personnel, up to 2,500 places. The union also demands a reinforcement in the most stressed departments.

For its part, UGT also highlights the reinforcement of Social Security, and also points out that places must be included to provide permanence to the Minimum Vital Income management program, which has already become structural over time.

The lack of detailed information bothered these two unions, but has not prevented them from giving their endorsement. This is not the case of CC.OO., which does not assume it due to lack of data and also because "it does not guarantee public service to citizens". It points out that the increase indicated, 20%, "is not real" and that "measures are not established to guarantee the creation of net public employment, nor to encourage internal promotion and the professional career of public personnel. They also demand extraordinary offers for those areas with the most vacancies and multi-year offers to anticipate the demand for personnel generated by retirements.
