UGT Prosegur SIS Boosts Union Representation with Advanced Training
Delegates from across Spain representing the UGT Prosegur SIS union recently completed a three-day intensive training course focused on strengthening organizational capabilities, defending worker rights, and preparing for upcoming union elections. The course, held at the Julián Besteiro School library, signals a proactive approach to bolstering union presence within Prosegur SIS.
Focus on Practical Skills and Modern Tools
Led by Antonio Cano, Secretary General of the UGT Prosegur SIS Madrid section, the training emphasized practical skills for delegates. Key areas covered included understanding the security sector, the role of union representation, FeSMC-UGT action methods, conflict resolution, and communication strategies. A significant portion of the curriculum was dedicated to increasing union affiliation, and representation.
Notably, the course incorporated training on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support union activities. Delegates learned how AI tools can be used to analyze company economic data, assess the impact of wage proposals, compare collective bargaining agreements, and develop negotiation scenarios. The training also explored AI’s potential in improving union communication and resolving labor disputes.
Strengthening Union Networks and Leadership
The event saw participation from key UGT leaders, including Ángel García, responsible for the sector in Madrid and Secretary of Organization for the State Section, and Diego Giráldez, the Sectoral Responsible. Both leaders emphasized the importance of commitment and dedication to the union’s mission.
Satur Martínez, Secretary General of the State Section of UGT Prosegur SIS, highlighted the union’s current position as the majority representative in the sector, attributing this success to the dedication of its delegates in addressing worker issues.
The course also facilitated networking among delegates from different regions, fostering coordination and strengthening the FeSMC-UGT’s national representation network.
The Rise of AI in Labor Relations: A New Frontier
The integration of AI training into the UGT Prosegur SIS curriculum reflects a broader trend within the labor movement. Unions are increasingly recognizing the potential of AI to enhance their analytical capabilities and strategic decision-making. This includes using AI to identify patterns of discrimination, monitor working conditions, and negotiate more effectively.
While AI offers significant advantages, it also presents challenges. Unions must ensure that AI tools are used ethically and transparently, and that they do not exacerbate existing inequalities. Training programs like the one offered by UGT Prosegur SIS are crucial for equipping union representatives with the skills to navigate this evolving landscape.
Looking Ahead: Union Strategies for 2026 and Beyond
The timing of this training is particularly significant, coinciding with the release of the 2026 salary tables for security personnel in the Canary Islands. This proactive approach to securing favorable economic conditions for workers demonstrates UGT’s commitment to defending labor rights. The focus on preparing for upcoming union elections underscores the importance of maintaining and expanding union representation within Prosegur SIS.
