Internal Negotiations, Universities • Competitive examination system: specific procedure, volume, postings and assignments • Internal promotion: training and ability • Changes in working conditions • Participation in selection committees • Social advantages • Staffing analysis, giving account of posts and positions, salary range, categories and supplementary payments. • Early-Retirement Agreements

  15. Advantages • Involvement of the Autonomous Community that provides funding • Common agreements between all the universities • Human Resource policy coordinated between Universities and the Autonomous Community • Decrease of unions in each university in transversal issues • No discrimination between universities and the 4 groups (General Committee)

  16. Disadvantages • Investment – in time – of the university’s management • By having common policies, each university may lose independent action. • The unions may have the temptation to negotiate terms in transversal Committees, and improvments of these within the internal negotiations in each university
