Summary: Travel agencies and unions resume negotiations on the collective agreement, stalled on wages and working conditions. Key details inside.

## Article

The **travel agency collective agreement** negotiation is back on track. Employers and unions meet today to try and break a weeks-long deadlock, as reported by [Hosteltur](https://www.hosteltur.com/177361_agencias-y-sindicatos-vuelven-a-la-mesa-para-desbloquear-el-acuerdo-del-convenio.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=agencias-y-sindicatos-vuelven-a-la-mesa-para-desbloquear-el-acuerdo-del-convenio).

The hot topics: **salaries, working hours and remote work**. Agencies face peak season pressure demanding flexibility, while unions push for inflation-linked raises and work-life balance clauses. This is not an ideological battle, it is pure talent management in a sector competing with airlines and OTAs for the best people.

Without real progress, conflict could escalate to strikes just as summer bookings ramp up. Hopefully, dialogue brings the facts to the table and a sensible deal is signed. The industry needs clear rules to retain top talent, not noise.
