Definition of concepts

Union election
Election process in which workers, both in private and public companies, or those in the service of public administrations, select their delegates to representative bodies, which play a fundamental role in collective bargaining and the determination of labour conditions.
Elector
Person that satisfies the legal requirements to be able to exercise their right to vote.

Methodological aspects

Union elections are the election process whereby the representatives of the employees of a work centre are elected every four years.

The employees of the company or place of work aged over 16, with more than one month in the company, can take part in the vote - which is free, personal, secret and direct - to choose their representatives.

The workers' representative must be over 18 years of age, with at least six months in the company (unless where another limit, no less than three months, has been collectively agreed on due to personnel mobility).

List of abbreviation and names of the unions that appear in the tables:
CSIF Central Sindical Independent i de Funcionaris (Independent Trade Union Confederation of Officials).
CCOO Confederacio Sindical de Comissions Obreres (General Workers' Confederation).
UGT Unio General de Treballadors (Confederation of Workers' Commissions).
USO Unio Sindical Obrera (Workers' Trade Union).
CGT Confederacio General del Treball (General Confederation of Labour).
IAC Intersindical Alternativa de Catalunya (Alternative Trade Union of Catalonia).

Either worker's delegates or a workers' committee will be chosen, depending on the size of the company's workforce.
