Comisiones Obreras, generally known as CCOO, is one of Spain's two largest trade union confederations, alongside UGT, organising workers across most sectors of the Spanish economy.
Founded during opposition to the Franco dictatorship, CCOO has long operated as one half of Spain's dominant labour-relations duopoly, typically negotiating national and sectoral agreements rather than confining itself to single-site disputes.
Its participation in a local dispute such as A Coruña usually signals that the union sees a case as a bellwether for wider sectoral bargaining, not simply a one-off local settlement.
CCOO brings national weight to Coruña
Spain's collective-bargaining apparatus reached A Coruña on 22 July 2026, when Comisiones Obreras added its signature to the settlement covering 80 jobs at Concentrix's call centre there, alongside UGT and the Galician confederation CIG .
As one of the country's two largest confederations, CCOO's presence pulled a single Galician site into national collective-bargaining territory rather than leaving it as a purely regional dispute. That national standing signals how Spain's biggest unions are positioning themselves on AI-linked job losses more broadly, ahead of comparable disputes likely to reach other employers.
