The social class you are born into is neither a merit nor a demerit. No one chooses it, but it radically determines it for the rest of life and manifests itself in every attitude and thought. This is why the proposal from Elma Saiz, Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, to reform temporary incapacity to establish a flexible leave system when one is “neither registered nor on leave”, shows that she has never been subjected to an employment relationship like those experienced by normal working class people. The fact of having studied at the University of Navarra already shows a good example of the social origin of the minister and we therefore understand that she believes that a worker can freely exercise their voluntary service to decide when to return to their position during their sick leave. Such a thing can only be said by someone who has not suffered from an unscrupulous employer threatening a worker or forcing him to work sick. You need a street, Minister.
It is a truism, but it must be remembered that sick leave is not taken by the worker, it is granted by a doctor when he confirms through his diagnosis that the person cannot carry out his professional work due to illness. disease. And for the same reason, it is the doctor who considers that a person can now return to work after said illness. It goes without saying that there is already the possibility, without the need to reform anything, of requesting voluntary registration. This is why the survey balloon launched by the PSOE has an obvious political intention, that of questioning workers who are on sick leave because of pressure and the employers’ lobby which has been questioning the system for years, confusing absenteeism at work with worker absences. . due to temporary incapacity. Elma Saiz’s measure is a historic demand from employers who have for years been wary of the sick leave system for workers.
