Intersindical Canaria

What Intersindical Canaria does

Intersindical Canaria (legal name: Confederación Intersindical Canaria) is a privately organized, non-profit trade union confederation headquartered at Avenida Primero de Mayo nº 33, 4º C, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. The organization provides worker representation, collective bargaining, strike organization, legal support for labor disputes, and advocacy for public services across the Canary Islands. It operates through five sector federations: Federación de Transporte (Transport), Federación de Salud (Health), Federación de Enseñanza / STEC-IC (Education), Federación de Administraciones Públicas (Public Administration), and Sección Sindical de Justicia (Justice Administration), plus a Tenerife hospitality federation, with representation extending across Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, and La Palma. The confederation is affiliated with the World Federation of Trade Unions (FSM), giving it an international dimension while rooting its advocacy in distinctively Canarian cultural, social, and labor-market concerns, including opposition to labor precarity, privatization of healthcare and education, and structural dependency on mainland Spanish frameworks. Its business model is member-funded through union dues and subscriptions with no commercial product offerings, no technology platform, and no proprietary intellectual property. Governance is exercised through federation-level congresses and a National Council, with the most recent National Congress convened on November 23, 2024.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• CSIF (Central Sindical Independiente y de Funcionarios): CSIF is a Spanish union specializing in public sector representation, particularly civil servants. It is directly comparable as it competes with Intersindical Canaria's public administration and justice federations for representation rights in the same Canary Islands public bodies.
• Comisiones Obreras (CCOO): CCOO is the largest Spanish trade union confederation with nationwide presence across all sectors. It is comparable as it operates parallel representative functions across the same Canarian sectors (transport, health, education, public administration), but on a much larger national scale and from a different political alignment.
• Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT): UGT is the second major Spanish trade union confederation, with parallel sectoral representation across public administration, education, healthcare, and transport in the Canary Islands. It competes directly with Intersindical Canaria for member votes and works council seats in the same regional workplaces.

Direct peers

• ELA (Eusko Langileen Alkartasuna): ELA is the Basque nationalist trade union with majority representation in the Basque Country across multiple sectors. It is comparable as a sovereigntist union operating in a single autonomous community with strong sectoral federations, providing a model for what Intersindical Canaria aspires to in the Canary Islands.
• Confederación Intersindical Galega (CIG): CIG is the Galician nationalist trade union confederation with a structure and sovereigntist positioning nearly identical to Intersindical Canaria. It is the closest peer given shared national-confederal model, regional-only scope, FSM affiliation, and independent stance from CCOO/UGT.
• Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT): CGT is a nationwide Spanish anarcho-syndicalist trade union with presence in the Canary Islands across public and private sectors. It is comparable as a smaller, ideologically distinct alternative to CCOO/UGT that competes in similar workplace representation battles.
• Unión Sindical Obrera (USO): USO is a nationwide Spanish trade union confederation competing in similar sectors and workplaces. It is comparable as a third-tier Spanish union that Intersindical Canaria competes against in Canary Islands works council elections and member recruitment.
• Intersindical Valenciana: Intersindical Valenciana is a regional Valencian trade union confederation with a similar confederal structure and independence from the major Spanish unions. It operates with comparable federation-based representation across sectors within its autonomous community.
• LAB (Langile Abertzaleen Batzordeak): LAB is a Basque sovereigntist trade union affiliated with the FSM and EH-Bildu's political ecosystem. It is directly comparable given its shared FSM affiliation, regional-only scope, and political alignment with nationalist/sovereigntist movements — the same traits that define Intersindical Canaria.

Emerging players

• Sindicato de Enfermería (SATSE): SATSE is a Spanish sector-specific union for nursing and healthcare workers. It is comparable as a competing representative body in the Canarian healthcare sector, where Intersindical Canaria's Federación de Salud directly contests representation rights.
