Unions convened a total of 80 mobilizations in different parts of Spain on the occasion of this on May 1, in which CCOO and UGT decided to divert attention from purely labor issues to the threat that they understand represents a policy adopted by Donald Trump and other international leaders to “reduce rights”. Although the reduction in the working day, which the Government is hollowing, will send deputies to the Congress next week did not require fame, with messages aimed at political parties that have approval in their hand. General Secretary of the UGT, Pepe Alvarez and his colleague from CCOO, Unai Sordo, headed Madrid’s march, who began at 12 in the morning to the VIA Gran and in which they accompanied the vice -president and Minister of Labor of Joland Diaz.
“We are faced with especially important May, which has an international character, which he never had. International hatred wants to put an end to the rights and freedoms of the vast majority of citizens, ”said UGT leader a few minutes before the start of protest. “You must serve to put your foot on the wall And to say that in addition to the tariffs that go against farmers from the products of our country, he added before applying directly to parliamentary groups to ask them to calculate the bill on 37.5 hours in the first vote and allow debate and negotiations.
“There would be a scam for democracy that parliamentary groups prevent this discussion. This is not about the approval of the project, how heThe point is that the Spanish parliament meets the request of about 70% of citizens who want to reduce working hours, ”Alvarez said that he invited the opposition to bring“ solid arguments ”against this measure if they have them. The truth is that the trade unions were opened to introduce changes in accordance with work from the same day when they are aware that compliance with this legislation and introduced in accordance with this law. Together and introduced in accordance with this law. Agreements to minimize conflicts within companies.
Although the agreement with the trade unions was signed in December 2024, the preliminary project did not fall into the Council of Ministers in the first round until February, since the departments of labor and the economy removed in confrontation from this measure. Minister Carlos Corps defended that this measure should be supplemented by help to compensate for the costs that this policy can transfer to small and medium enterprises, Diaz, on the other hand, wanted to save this asset in order to be able to negotiate with PNV and Junts And it was a position that was finally imposed. Nevertheless, Blackout last Monday disappointed his plans to provide the latest “approved” in the government until May 1 and will be completed in a week.
“We want to send a double message,” said Madrid deaf, referring to this parliamentary exam and uncertainty caused by the US policy. “Spain must consolidate the legal reduction of working time, and we call on political groups They do not make fraud with the law, which would mean not to take into account The agreement reached by trade union organizations and the government “declared, hinting at the first obstacle, which would have to be overcome when sending to the lower ward. If the groups give the first yes, the law initiates its processing in the commission, and then fully, and then, ultimately, will transfer it to the Senate. However, if it is canceled in this first step, it will be returned to the Council of Ministers.
Diaz also wanted to concentrate his message on a reduction in a weekly day. “May was first born in a huge strike in Chicago by some employees who claimed for a 40 -hour day,” he recalls, as he pointed to the agenda of labor, in which leaders such as Donald Trump, Javier Miley or Viktor Orban, “against the trade union”. “We want more, the next step is called a reduction in the working day, Pablo Iglesias also collected in Madrid his first demonstration with a request to reduce up to 8 hours and I think it will be May 1, in which we will have a maximum working day of 40 hours“He defended himself at the door of the bill to parliament.” He should speak in popular sovereignty and ask for political formations that have reached a height, ”he directly claimed the deputies of the PP.
Representatives of employees also include the horizon for compensation for unacceptable dismissal after the criteria of the European Committee on Social Laws (CED) were published at the request of UGT promoted and awaiting the same thing that is presented with those presented by CCOO. The task of the work is divided by this “Compensation of the letter” This applies to the damage caused to every employee based on their personal characteristics, but the socialist wing of the government is reluctant to change the changes, therefore, for this purpose there is still no end time to open negotiations or it is planned to increase 37.5 hours.
