While waiting for the Government to send the new version of the Omnibus Law, the UCR bloc of the Senate presented its own labor reform project that contemplates the creation of a severance fund to replace compensation, reduction of fines and a period of 6 month trial;
three points that included the DNU of President Milei that was suspended by Justice.
"It is an issue that we brought as a demand to La Rosada: that the labor reform had to come out by law and we understand that they granted it to us," they say from the UCR.
In fact, it is expected that the omnibus law sent by the Executive will include a labor chapter.
To set the stage for what is to come,
the Senate block took the lead of its block head, Eduardo Vischi
, who along with other legislators who also respond to governors presented their own labor reform project, which brings together other proposals. that the bench had already presented on the subject.
"The Block already had a history of projects. We will see what comes from the government to the Senate eventually, but this is independent of that," they say.
The truth is that the initiative raises three key points, which were included in Milei's DNU. However, the project does not establish other issues that the Government proposed, such as whether blockades are grounds for dismissal, a point that opened the debate on the scope of the right to strike.
In the creation of a severance fund, the radical project stipulates that the employer will pay monthly insurance of 12% the first year and then it will be 8%. It establishes that the fund will be administered by ANSES, "which will have the obligation to preserve the invested capital," they clarify.
In the DNU Milei provided unemployment insurance as a replacement for compensation but voluntary: it stated that it should be agreed upon by collective agreement, in agreement between the parties. He pointed out that the contribution could not exceed 8% monthly. In addition, he reduced the calculation of severance pay.
"As a result of these 20 years of bad labor policies and the lack of a necessary vision of change in this regard, labor conflict has increased in companies, negatively impacting their liabilities due to the high compensation cost of compensation. "says the text in the fundamentals.
The Government in its DNU reduced fines for businessmen for non-registration or defective registration. The UCR initiative also reduces fines.
For its part, while the Executive decree extended the trial period to eight months, the radical initiative extends it to six months. "Equating our legislation with that of Brazil, giving a perspective of regional competitiveness," they point out.
The project also establishes the obligation to pay by electronic means, "thus ensuring the traceability of remuneration and protecting workers' rights."
Meanwhile, from the radical bench of Deputies, a commission of about 15 deputies was formed to address this issue. They met this Wednesday via zoom. "We will see if we turn it into a project or suggestions for treatment," they said.
