Iryo has reached a landmark agreement with its workforce by signing its first collective bargaining agreement, which will benefit 460 employees and apply retroactively from 1 January 2026. The deal excludes train drivers, who already have their own specific agreement.
The pact, the result of dialogue with the unions ALFERRO, CCOO, SFF‑CGT and SEMAF, establishes a shared framework that strengthens stability and harmonises working conditions amid the expansion of the liberalised rail market.
The agreement, which provides for pay rises through to 2028, introduces advances in work‑life balance, flexibility and social benefits. Among the main improvements are new ways of organising work, medical cover, insurance, and mobility allowances — all aimed at improving staff wellbeing and protection.
Iryo’s management praised the constructive dialogue maintained with union representatives, highlighting the responsibility shown by all parties in reaching a fair and sustainable deal.
“This agreement strengthens our commitment to people and to an attractive, long‑term working environment,” said CEO Fabrizio Favara. With this step, Iryo moves forward in its goal of consolidating its position as a benchmark in rail mobility in Spain.
