FESMC

What FESMC does

FeSMC-UGT (Federación de Servicios, Movilidad y Consumo de UGT) is a Spanish trade union federation that represents workers across the services, mobility, and consumption sectors. It operates as a sectoral federation within UGT (Unión General de Trabajadores), one of Spain's two largest and most established trade union confederations, founded in 1888. The federation organizes workers across 11 distinct sectors — commerce and large stores, offices and insurance, hospitality and tourism, private security and auxiliary services, cleaning, road/urban/logistics transport, air, rail, maritime-port, financial, and communications/culture — through 19 territorial organizations covering all Spanish autonomous communities and autonomous cities. Its primary constituency is individual affiliated workers, with day-to-day representation delivered through elected workplace delegates, territorial offices, and sectoral structures.

FeSMC-UGT's core offerings are organized around a digital resource library (Librería) containing collective agreements, labor legislation, equality plans, and bargaining materials, supplemented by structured guides covering labor law (Guías Laborales), gender equality (Guías de Igualdad), and occupational health and safety (Guías de Salud Laboral). The federation delivers directed training courses in teleformation and in-person formats, a transparency portal for institutional accountability, and negotiation support for workplace equality plans. Distribution is conducted through a combination of face-to-face territorial offices, sectoral negotiators, workplace delegate networks, and a self-service digital platform. The federation participates in collective bargaining at both sectoral and company level, with publicly visible recent activity including the ALEH state hospitality agreement, the Zeeman ERE settlement, and ongoing European coordination through UNI Europa Property Services.

The federation's revenue model is predicated on recurring union membership dues/affiliation fees collected from affiliated workers, with no publicly disclosed pricing, per-member fee schedule, or aggregate revenue figures. It is structured as a private non-profit organization under Spanish law, with UGT as its parent confederation. The organization runs no technology products, AI systems, or proprietary platforms beyond its content-based website and course catalog. Geographic operations are Spain-only, with international activity limited to coordination through European union networks.

Regional players

• LAB (Langile Abertzalen Batzordeak): A Basque nationalist trade union with strong representation in services, transport, and public administration in the Basque Country and Navarre. Regional peer with similar member-funded model.
• ELA-STV: The largest Basque Country trade union, particularly strong in industry and increasingly in services. Operates in a different geography with a national-comparable union model and overlapping sectoral representation.
• Intersindical: A confederation of Catalan and Valencian unions representing workers across services and public sectors in those regions. Comparable union federation structure with a regional concentration but similar sectoral reach to FeSMC-UGT.

Others

• UNI Global Union: The global federation for service-sector unions of which UNI Europa (FeSMC-UGT's European-level partner) is a regional organization. Thematically adjacent as the umbrella coordinating body for services unions worldwide.
• European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC): The umbrella confederation representing national trade unions at EU level. Provides European policy advocacy and coordination that complements FeSMC-UGT's national representation, especially on labor law directives affecting member sectors.

Direct peers

• FeS-CCOO (Federación de Servicios de CCOO): The services-sector federation of CCOO, the closest like-for-like counterpart to FeSMC-UGT within Spain's other dominant union. Covers nearly identical sectors (commerce, hospitality, finance, transport, cleaning, security) and competes head-to-head in collective bargaining.
• Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT): A Spanish anarcho-syndicalist union federation active across services, transport, communications, and public administration. Competes with FeSMC-UGT for delegate elections and collective bargaining representation in overlapping sectors.
• Unión Sindical Obrera (USO): A nationwide Spanish trade union that competes with FeSMC-UGT and UGT/CCOO for representation across many of the same service and transport sectors. Comparable in member-funded model and sectoral bargaining activity.
• Comisiones Obreras (CCOO): Spain's other dominant trade union confederation and the principal competitor to UGT (FeSMC-UGT's parent) across virtually all of the same service sectors — commerce, hospitality, transport, finance, and cleaning. Directly comparable in scale, sectoral coverage, and collective bargaining function.

Broad incumbents

• Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT): The parent confederation of FeSMC-UGT and one of Spain's two largest union bodies, with national reach across services, industry, agriculture, and public administration. Broader scope than FeSMC-UGT but operationally overlaps entirely on the services/mobility/consumption remit.
