The Cabinet has approved its proposed labor reform, which will be explained this afternoon at the social by the Prime Minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who shall thereafter inform the precise details. On January 30, Zapatero said the reform would help working mostly young and little cualifcados . And, according to him, these groups are the "hardest hit by the scourge of unemployment."
In the press conference after the Council of Ministers, the Deputy Prime Minister Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega, explained that the proposal is built around five objectives and serve to move beyond the crisis and economic production model that is "not feasible "for the future.
Promote employment, reduce the duality in the recruitment and temporary, increase the chances of finding a job, increase the internal flexibility of companies and promote employment of young people with less training, are the five axes, said de la Vega.
The Government convened this afternoon at 17.00, the top leaders of CCOO, UGT, CEOE and Cepyme, Ignacio Fernández Toxo, Candido Mendez, Gerardo Diaz Ferran and Jesus Barcenas, in the Moncloa Palace to give its proposals for reforming the labor market, union officials said.
33 days for younger and older than 45
Business sources, meanwhile, said the government likely would contain proposals for labor reform. One might be to 'destopar' the contract to promote stable employment, which compensation for unfair dismissal is 33 days per year worked, so that its use should be open to all groups.
Currently, the employer can make this contract with unemployed young people between 16 and 30, unemployed persons over 45, disabled, unemployed have been registered at employment offices for at least six consecutive months, and unemployed women when hiring for service in professions or occupations with lower rates of female employment.
Also, the contract to promote stable employment created in the 1997 reform can be done with those workers who, in the timing of the new contract, were used in the same company under a temporary contract entered into prior to December 31 , 2007.
The 'universality' of the contract to promote stable employment is only one of the ideas that the Government is considering include in their proposals, that is still not definite that this will be one of the measures 'star'. Deck also expensive temporary contracts and the fixed priority through the contribution to unemployment.
10 points on the table
Sources consulted by Europa Press reported that the Government's proposal could be around 10 points. First, an employment program for young people between 16 and 24, which is the priority group for the Executive. This program would be aimed specifically at meeting the needs of young people without professional qualifications.
It could include revising the bonus system with a view to simplifying and improving the public employment services and job placement. Another point could be the review of the structure of collective bargaining and the need to introduce greater flexibility in this area internally.
Procurement, the Government's proposal would see the reduction in working hours with payment of a benefit ('German model'), correction of the excessive labor market duality, with special attention to the timing and extent of hiring part-time stable.
The last three points would be aimed at training for employment, equality between men and women in the workplace and the control of temporary disability, the sources said.
Do I study or approval?
In any case, not about initiatives closed, so it could "fall" of the final text submitted by the Government to the social and be replaced with new ones.
The truth is that it is not clear that the Council of Ministers to be approved today the government document with their proposed labor reform. The fact that the Labour Minister Celestino Corbacho, has not left the press conference after the Council of Ministers and that unions and employers have been called this afternoon at Moncloa, suggests that the Council simply be limited " the study "of the proposals, but not approval.
It should also be borne in mind that CC.OO. and UGT had asked the Government to delay expresmente again the submission of proposals generated by the climate around its proposals on pensions and not to interfere in the ongoing dialogue with employers to close a collective bargaining agreement.
