100% of our staff are covered by the different collective agreements , which
regulate the working conditions of employees such as work organisation,
probationary period, working hours, working time, holidays, leave, disciplinary
regime and trade union leave, for each of the job categories.
At TWL Spain, the agreements in force include those for Logistics Operators,
road transport of goods, packaging and handling services, Offices and those
corresponding to each country in which we operate. In Germany, employees are
covered by the BGHM agreement. At TWA in Mexico, they are under the collective
7
bargaining agreement of the Federal Labour Law . In Portugal, France, England
and Sweden, they are under the Transport Agreement for each country.
We respect the right of all employees to join the trade unions of their choice and
to bargain collectively, and that employee representatives are not subject to any
form of discrimination and that these are accessible in the workplace.
In order to promote the relationship with our employees and establish a
systematic, frequent dialogue, we have established joint works councils, with
representation from management and trade union representatives, in companies
with more than 50 employees as required by Spanish law, which meet on a
quarterly basis.
However, we promote constant dialogue with those who represent our employees
in the countries where we operate, such as France or Mexico, although they are
not under the figure of a Committee. In Portugal, England and the USA, these
committees have not been set up, but we encourage dialogue through regular
meetings with employees.
The issues discussed with labour representatives during the course of 2022
included, among many others, the following:

• Negotiations on Equality Plans for the corresponding correction.
• Prevention of occupational hazards.

6 Our employees in the USA are not covered by collective bargaining agreements as that country has not ratified the
ILO Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948, and therefore such a requirement
is not mandatory.
