02/19/2015 | 02:40pm US/Eastern
The agreement formally recognises Gamesas commitment to its social, labour and environmental commitments made as part of its CSR strategy.
This new deal with Industriall extends to all of Gamesas employees in all countries it is present in. Gamesa said it is the first agreement of this type. It will run for four years initially, with the option to extend the deal every two years.
Gamesa will oversee the agreement along with other union representatives in a new coordination and oversight body. It will report every two years on how the agreement is being met.
Gamesa chief corporate officer Jose Antonio Cortajarena said, This agreement evidences the continual and two-way dialogue that exists between Gamesa and its unions.
This deal contrasts with rival manufacturer Enercons disputes with trade unions in Germany.

This agreement - the first of its class in the renewable energy sector - was signed by José Antonio Cortajarena and Javier Treviño, Chief Corporate Officer and Director of Human Resources at Gamesa, respectively, and by the General Secretary of IndustriALL Global Union, Jyrki Raina, and the General Secretaries of Industry of unions CCOO, MCA-UGT and FITAG-UGT, Agustín Martín, Carlos Romero and Antonio Deusa, respectively. The signing ceremony was also attended by Joaquín Nieto, director of the Spanish International Labour Organization (ILO) office.
One of the agreement's novel aspects is the fact that Gamesa will oversee and supervise the agreement together with its workers' representatives (UGT and CCOO). To this end it will set up a coordination and oversight body that will meet regularly and issue a report every two years on the level of application of the agreement with a view to analysing potential updates.
"This agreement evidences the continual and two-way dialogue that exists between Gamesa and its unions. It also reinforces the conduct and ethical guidelines embodied by our general policies and our Code of Conduct and echoes the Group's corporate culture and values", underscored Cortajarena.
The contents of the agreement will apply in all the countries in which Gamesa is present and, by extension, to all of its employees.
