With the debate on the LOT hindered, Figuera said that there are various issues where there is agreement, including the elimination of outsourcing and the introduction of "severe" penalties on public and private employers who violate the legal regulations and decisions of the Ministry of Labour. However, when scrutinizing the differences between the parliament, said that in the case of the arrangements for job stability, there is disagreement over whether or not it must shelter all the country's workers, except managerial employees, or cover by groups of workers, according to the salary.
Regarding the reduction of working hours, but did not say, has gone beyond that debate on the president's proposal was rejected on constitutional reform, which proposed six hours a day and 36 hours per week limit, and the application of different days depending on where you play the sector worker.
When you focus on the most controversial provision which refers to the retroactivity of benefits, Figuera said there are three alternatives. MPs discuss whether to approve return to the current scheme until 1997, the allowance is calculated based on final salary; maintain the current system, but adding 15 days a year with the last salary as a basis of calculation, or payment of not less than 45 days per year to the last salary earned for the first five years of the legal instrument, and then reduced to 30 days per year.
Knowing these proposals, Froilan Barrios, leader of the Movement Labor Solidarity, denied that the debate is kept "silence" and to consider adopting a text "without recognizing the rights contained in the reform of 1997, after which accumulated a debt of benefits over $ 18 billion" public employees.
AN accused of succumbing to pressure from the Executive to consider that there was lack of consensus, which stopped the debate, but it demanded the government as it prepares its own document. Believes that this law must be approved by parliament to be elected in 2010.
Despite this, Figuera said this month a special team to resume the discussion of "changes and improvements" the text and lead to consulting. His aspiration is to pass the law in the first six months of 2010. Articles
