Abstract

The reform of collective bargaining, introduced by Royal Decree-Law 32/2021, of 28 December, in the area of the prohibition of concurrence and ultra-activity of collective agreements, determines a renewed interest in a classic interpretative question, the validity of this prohibition during the ultra-activity phase of a collective agreement. For this reason, the Supreme Court’s doctrine on the subject is analysed, not only the general criterion echoed in the STS of 5 October 2021, but also the doctrine of the impermeability of the bargaining unit during the ultraactivity of the collective agreement, for the purposes of proposing a jurisprudential doctrine, in accordance with the characteristics of the new legal model for the organisation of collective bargaining, following RDL 32/2021. The complexity and transcendence of the issue make it advisable to propose a judicial doctrine with nuances in its interpretation of articles 84.1 LET and 86.3 LET.
