The Minister of Labor and Second Vice President of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, made the decision to postpone the meeting with the social agents during which they would announce their decision on the working day 37.5 hours per week.
From the Ministry of Labor They alleged that the suspension is because it is time to help businesses and self-employed workers affected by Dana: “We have decided to suspend this meeting because from now on all our efforts, those of the Government, those of the ministry, but also those of the social partners, are focused on safeguarding the situation which occurred in Valencia,” announced the secretary State of Valencia. State for Employment, Joaquín Pérez Rey, suspension of the session.
Given this decision, economic sources informed elEconomista.es that they believe that the cancellation of the meeting with social agents has a greater origin and It is also due to the lack of agreement between unions, employers and the ministry itself.
The meeting scheduled for Monday would serve the Ministry of Labor to find out if the UGT, CCOO, CEOE and Cepyme have given the definitive “yes” or “no” to the modification of the working day to 37.5 hours per week without reduction in salary, even if the employers’ representatives had already expressed their rejection of the agreement because it represents an “interference in the autonomy of collective bargaining, enshrined in article 37.1 of the Constitution”.
The move only delays the inevitable breakdown in negotiations with employers, while making it difficult to adhere to established labor reform guidelines.
