**The amendment, included in a banking royal decree-law, clarifies that the generic reference to collective labor agreements in article 84.2 d) of the Workers’ Statute should be to companies’ collective bargaining agreements.**





In its January 19, 2022 edition, the Official State Gazette ([BOE](https://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2022/01/19/pdfs/BOE-A-2022-800.pdf)) published an amendment to Royal Decree-Law 32/2021, of December 28, 2021, on urgent measures for labor reform, ensuring stable employment and transforming the labor market.

This amendment clarifies that companies’ collective bargaining agreements take precedence for adaptation of elements of the contract types which are attributed to **companies’ collective bargaining agreements** under article 84.2 of the Workers’ Statute (the instrument originally published referred to “collective labor agreements” generically).
