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.
In September 2026, CCOO economist Fernando Rocha and academics from Granada and Valencia proposed linking Spanish corporate tax rates to company headcount, responding to €109.9 billion in Social Security contributions collected from 22.3 million workers between January and July. The proposal shows CCOO extending its response to AI-linked job losses from single-site bargaining into national tax policy.
CCOO brings national weight to Coruna
Spain's collective-bargaining apparatus reached A Coruna 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.
