What Universidades does

UNITOD (Unión para Todos) is a labor union (sindicato) founded on September 19, 2019, operating exclusively at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), a public university in Madrid, Spain. It represents two employee constituencies at the institution: PTGAS (Personal Técnico, de Gestión y de Administración y Servicios, administrative and service staff) and PDI (Personal Docente e Investigador, teaching and research personnel). UNITOD was constituted following UPM's first union elections on November 14, 2019, and currently holds two delegates in the Comité de Empresa (works council), won in the November 15, 2023 election. It is registered as a private association at Avda. Juan XXIII, 11, Rectorado B Despacho 48, 28040 Madrid, and is led by a single coordinator/general secretary.

The union's core service is collective bargaining representation and labor-rights advocacy, supplemented by a portfolio of member-facing programs: the 'Los Desayunos de las 11' podcast, 'Grupos de Estudio' study groups for civil-service exam preparation, 'Asesoramiento Oposiciones' exam-opposition counseling, and administrative support for filing the 'Complemento de Promoción Horizontal' (horizontal promotion supplement). Its technology stack is generic and consumer-grade: Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 endpoints, Microsoft Teams collaboration, OneDrive personal storage, UPMdrive institutional cloud, and Microsoft Intune for endpoint management. There is no proprietary platform, no custom software, no AI tooling, and no differentiated technical IP. Communication with members is via direct email, Microsoft Teams channels, and institutional UPM channels.

UNITOD is funded through member dues from a small base concentrated at a single institution. The source data explicitly states UNITOD is not a revenue-generating company and disclosed revenue is not applicable; member dues finance operating costs at sub-$1M scale. Member acquisition is direct at the workplace, and there is no geographic, vertical, or institutional expansion beyond UPM in the disclosed information. Recent strategic activity has centered on defensive mobilization: opposition to UPM's April 30, 2026 suspension of retirement bonuses, defense of approximately 30 interim PAS workers facing dismissal after 15–35 years of service, and leveraging the February 22, 2024 TJUE ruling on temporary contracts to press for regularization of precarious staff.

Regional players

• Intersindical: Valencian regional union confederation that operates similarly as a multi-sector autonomous union in higher education. Comparable to UNITOD as a non-confederal, autonomous union model in a single autonomous community.
• STECyL (Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Enseñanza de Castilla y León): Regional public-sector education and university union modeled on autonomous, single-region organizing. Functionally analogous to UNITOD in structure but operating in a different geography (Castilla y León).

Direct peers

• CSIF (Central Sindical Independiente y de Funcionarios): Major Spanish civil-service union with substantial presence in public universities including UPM. Directly competes with UNITOD for civil servant (funcionario) representation in Juntas de Personal.
• USO (Unión Sindical Obrera): Spanish national trade union confederation with diversified public/ private sector representation, including university workers. Competes with UNITOD in UPM collective bargaining cycles.
• CCOO (Comisiones Obreras): Spain's largest national trade union confederation with active representation at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid across PTGAS and PDI. Directly competes with UNITOD for delegates in the Comité de Empresa and Juntas de Personal at UPM.
• CGT (Confederación General del Trabajo): Spain's principal anarcho-syndicalist union confederation with delegate presence in public universities. Competes with UNITOD particularly among administrative and contract (laboral) staff at UPM.
• UGT (Unión General de Trabajadores): Second major national Spanish trade union with strong public-sector footprint, including significant delegate presence at UPM. Competes head-to-head with UNITOD in UPM employee elections and collective bargaining.
• SAP (Sindicato Autónomo de Personal): Autonomous staff union at Madrid public universities; UNITOD originated from activists with 10 years of prior action in the SAP/UPM section (per founding history). Closest direct lineage peer at UPM.

Broad incumbents

• FeSP UGT (Federación de Empleadas y Empleados de los Servicios Públicos de UGT): Public-services federation within UGT covering universities, healthcare, and administration. A broader-incumbent peer that absorbs UPM university workers' representation as part of a wider portfolio, comparable to UNITOD's PTGAS scope but at vastly larger scale.

Emerging players

• ANPE (Asociación Nacional de Profesionales de la Enseñanza): Predominantly teaching-staff union with growing university PDI presence. Adjacent to UNITOD's advocacy domain for PDI personnel at UPM, though primarily K-12 focused.
