Iberian Peninsula 2027 wage projections

Overview

Labor unions and economic analysts continue to outline wage projections for 2027 across the Iberian Peninsula. In Spain, the Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) union has signaled an ‘ambitious’ stance, proposing a minimum wage (SMI) increase exceeding 5%—specifically more than 60 euros per month—to maintain the SMI at 60% of the average salary. CCOO is also seeking legislation to prevent wage hikes from being offset by other bonuses and is calling for mandatory working hour records.

In Portugal, negotiations and debates over the minimum wage and public sector pay have intensified. While social concertation processes project the national minimum wage could reach 970 euros by 2027, unions are pushing for much higher figures. The UGT has proposed 1,000 euros, while the CGTP has called for a ‘wage shock’ involving a 15% general increase and a minimum wage of 1,100 euros. Business leaders, such as the president of the Confederação do Comércio Português, have criticized mandatory increases for compressing company margins.

Public administration negotiations remain strained. Unions including Frente Comum and Fesap have criticized recent government meetings as ‘an absolute zero’ regarding financial proposals. Fesap is seeking a 6.5% increase, while Frente Comum continues to advocate for up to 15%. Beyond general wages, specific labor disputes have emerged, including threats of protest from the National Union of Sapador Firefighters (SNBS) over local municipal control of working hours, and concerns from the Union of Pre-Hospital Emergency Technicians (STEPH) regarding ambulance maintenance at the National Institute of Medical Emergency (INEM).
