Mercadona companies: 3 months to adapt to Articles 31 and 44 of the collective agreement

The Resolution of 6 March 2026 publishes the Supreme Court ruling of 12 February 2026, which declares the regulations contained in Articles 31 and 44 of the Mercadona Collective Agreement, published on 16 February 2024, null and void. Affected companies must adjust their labour practices in accordance with the new legal interpretation. This change directly affects contracts and working conditions in commercial establishments covered by the agreement.

In 2 key points

  1. Articles 31 and 44 of the Mercadona agreement are void following the Supreme Court ruling (art. 31 y 44 del Convenio publicado por Resolución de 16 de febrero de 2024)
  2. The ruling was published in the BOE on 6 March 2026 (Resolución de 6 de marzo de 2026)

Labour advisors must update their reports and advice to reflect this nullity. Regional administrations may need to review their monitoring of collective agreement compliance.
