Building workers employed by companies outside the Balearics who come to the islands are paid up to 30% less than Balearic workers. This is because they are paid in accordance with industry agreements in other regions. These typically provide for lower wages than in the Balearics. The general secretary of the UGT union's builders' federation, Sonia Saavedra, says that this is illegal. Companies should pay what has been agreed in regions where they work.
