What the Constitution says

«1. Todos tienen derecho a sindicarse libremente. La ley podrá limitar o exceptuar el ejercicio de este derecho a las Fuerzas o Institutos armados o a los demás Cuerpos sometidos a disciplina militar y regulará las peculiaridades de su ejercicio para los funcionarios públicos. La libertad sindical comprende el derecho a fundar sindicatos y a afiliarse al de su elección, así como el derecho de los sindicatos a formar confederaciones y a fundar organizaciones sindicales internacionales o a afiliarse a las mismas. Nadie podrá ser obligado a afiliarse a un sindicato.»

Spanish Constitution of 1978, article 28 (paragraph 1, consolidated text at the BOE), read on 21 October 2026.
