Since the Fourth Congress (1987), the union's general secretary was [[Antonio Gutiérrez Vegara|Antonio Gutiérrez]], reelected in the V Congress (1991). During his mandate CCOO distanced itself from the [[Communist Party of Spain|PCE]] and a preference for negotiations and the social pacts over strikes and conflictivity<!-- Conflictivity? Is that a word? --> was promoted. This was criticized by a faction known as the [[Critical Sector of CCOO]], supported by [[Marcelino Camacho]] and Agustin Moreno, in the sixth Congress (1996). The [[Critical Sector of CCOO]] has continued to organize the most pro-[[Communist Party of Spain|PCE]] sector of CCOO since then.

In the VII Congress (2000) José Maria Fidalgo was chosen as the new secretary general, being re-elected at the Eighth Congress in April 2004.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.eldia.es/2004-04-25/dinero/dinero8.htm |title=Fidalgo triunfa en el 8º Congreso de CC.

After protests the measure was withdrawn almost entirely. In this cycle CCOO reached again over one million members. CCOO also opposed the [[Iraq War]] and participated in the [[Protests against the Iraq War|massive protests against it]].
