About the Málaga Workers Council

The Comité de Empresa (Workers' Council) of the Málaga Center is the elected representative body for the employees of the centre, established under Articles 62–68 of the Spanish Workers' Statute (Real Decreto Legislativo 2/2015) and the framework of collective representation in Spain.

Mission

  • Represent every employee of the Málaga Center — regardless of role, grade, or tenure — in all matters covered by Spanish labour law.
  • Be the legal counterparty for information, consultation, and collective negotiation with the company.
  • Provide confidential support for individual labour matters.
  • Build practical tools and resources so that understanding the rules doesn't require a law degree.

What we work on

The Council organises its work into focused groups, each owning a area of employee representation at the Málaga Center.

Our delegates

The Council is made up of delegates elected by the Málaga Center workforce. They serve on a voluntary basis alongside their regular roles.

The roster of elected Málaga Center delegates will be published here soon.

Employee representation

The Workers' Council is elected and bound by the deber de sigilo (duty of professional confidentiality) under Article 65.2 of the Workers' Statute and Article 8 of Organic Law 11/1985 on Freedom of Association. As a UGT union section, we are not part of Oracle's management structure, not HR, not payroll, and we are not paid by the company for our representation work.

Composition

The Council is composed of representatives elected by the Málaga Center workforce in collaboration with the UGT trade union. Both organisations work together to ensure workers have a unified voice in collective negotiation while ensuring strong UGT representation for the workforce.

Our colleagues in Madrid are represented by the UGT Oracle Madrid (sister section), the UGT union section for Oracle's Madrid entities.

How decisions get made

  1. Members can raise an issue at any monthly meeting or, urgently, between meetings.
  2. For collective matters (convenio interpretation, RIF / ERE response, policy changes), positions are voted by simple majority of council members present.
  3. Individual support (sanctions, discrepancies, advice) is handled by the member contacted, with the option to escalate to a full-council vote if the matter has broader implications.
  4. Public communication on this site, in Slack, or by email is reviewed and approved before publication.

What we do NOT do

  • We do not give legal advice — for individual claims, we point you toward labour lawyers and the Inspección de Trabajo.
  • We do not negotiate on behalf of any single employee against their will.
  • We do not share employee data with anyone, including UGT or Oracle, without explicit consent and a lawful basis.
