PROBABLE DELAY REFORM OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
The media, and social actors involved, have been offered throughout the week of conflicting reports about the imminent signing of the agreement pending the final reform on collective bargaining. On Monday, union leaders were willing to sign the agreement. This Wednesday, the government, in the voice of the Minister of Labour, stated he does not want reform agreements overlaps election municipal and regional authorities. And yet, in several newspapers Thursday that account management and unions did not sign before the 22-M, and CEOI given at least another 20 days to close the reform of collective bargaining. As shown, there are degrees of "anxiety" or "rush" on the matter ...
First, the compelling government's attitude: "It is not over-mix the electoral process with the final process of collective bargaining agreement," proclaimed on Wednesday the Minister of Labour, Valeriano Gómez. In principle, it was a vague statement .... except that occurred within hours of the start of the campaign. The announcement came just when, a few hours later, on the morning of Thursday, was scheduled a meeting between top leaders of trade unions and employers.
What is happening, why so many delays and delays? Talks to reform the collective bargaining should have finished one and a half ago, according to labor reform. But the agreement between UGT, CCOO and CEOE has been impossible so far. As regards the Government is convinced that the best reform is the "negotiated", something he repeated several times minister Gómez, before warning: "The sooner you score, the better. It is appropriate that [the parties ] put together with society, to inform progress to those who have come, "claimed in an event organized by the Association for the Advancement of Management and Adecco. Then he suggested, without elaborating, that in recent days negotiations have taken important steps. Something leaders had indicated similar Toxo and Mendez-matching-unionists, when he appeared last Monday on English television. It seems that, in fact, the two main parties in the talks, central and employers-have filed their positions in substantially crucial issues, particularly in internal flexibility, one of the major objectives of the reform. Also at points that have been incorporated into the calendar without being referred to as absenteeism. However, it still seems to be an insurmountable obstacle: the expiration of the agreement once the period for which it was signed.
On the CEOE of Joan Rosell, according to Thursday's El Mundo newspaper, does not rule out even postpone the CEOE board that wanted to close the case on day 18. A senior leader of the employers said that progress has been made, and will probably end up having an agreement, "but it is pointless trying to close on the campaign trail. We will not complicate their lives trying to close it before 22. And these sources add that the possible election victory of the PP and PSOE a possible debacle in the elections of 22, "I could change the political landscape and serve the interests of employers." And along those lines would run Mariano Rajoy leaders of the employers, to recommend that they not sign any agreement that has no significance, because it would have a negative impact on the economy, then it would be difficult to change.
To prepare for the meeting this Thursday, the management was committed to the unions to submit a written proposal. But after six in the afternoon of Wednesday, the text had not yet been received at the headquarters of the UGT and CCOO, according to union sources. At the same ceremony in which he did on Wednesday the Minister Valeriano Gomez participated Professor of Labour Law, Salvador del Rey, counsel for the employers in the negotiation process. In his view, the most important point on which reform should focus collective bargaining is the possibility that changes in the substance of the agreements (wages, working or functional mobility), prime business decision if the change is not permanent. However, the minister himself was cured in health, with the likelihood of having to wait. Having called on trade unions and employers greater corporate commitment to achieve a collective bargaining agreement, said, however, "if the result is correct and incorporates sufficient water reform involving a change of culture and whose cornerstone is the mediation and arbitration, it will be worth have expected. "Did he mean the earlier delays, or which may hereafter occur? President of Adecco, Enrique Sanchez, stated, in Forum we took note that "collective bargaining is the last chance to make a thorough reform that would provide solutions to make companies more flexible and stop the unstoppable growth of unemployed".
But it is clear that not all partners have the same haste or impatience to reach the final, and it seems equally clear that all parties, too, want to have something to say about the particular until the last minute ...
