description "Occupational welfare has been one of the topics usually addressed in Spanish collective bargaining, although to a very limited degree. In spite of being a background issue, it has become more important over the decades, but certainly, in the brief history of Spanish welfare, it seems not to have been at the top of the social partners’ agenda. Only relative importance has been granted to some specific issues, such as pension plans and funds, temporary illness top-up payments to state benefits, and provisions regarding unemployment and retirement in agreements concluded during consultation periods in collective redundancy processes. In the context of the current crisis, public social cuts and decentralization of collective bargaining, OW is being reduced and is not at all a priority in political or trade union debate, since occupational welfare is a bargaining chip to limit redundancies and wage reductions."
