Spain's government plans 2% pay raise for civil servants

Spain's regional policy minister Carolina Darias on Friday told unions that the country's recently confirmed coalition government plans to give civil servants a 2% pay raise with retroactive effect from Jan. 1.

The pay hike, which unions had requested prior to the announcement of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's cabinet over the weekend, will be introduced as soon as possible, the government said.
