The new Counter-employment, adopted by the government is another twist (one more) to the already ailing workers' rights.
long ago in Spain, the dismissal is free, thanks to legislation that allows the activities of enterprises are still covered with temporary jobs, making that a worker can be replaced by another at almost any time. Now they say they want to reduce temporary but
new reform - does not prevent the same position is continuously covered with temporary contracts.
- not merely where you can use the contract work, which are extensive.
then, is a lie that seeks to reform the temporary stop at any time for job security guarantees for legislative work in any productive activity permanently fixed and will appropriate a fixed job and stable, it should be. What it does do the reform, however, is:
- Larger groups of workers who can be dismissed with an allowance of 33 days per year worked instead of 45. From now include virtually all workers who are employed indefinitely. Of these 33 days severance pay, 8 will be paid by the Wage Guarantee Fund (FOGASA).
- Facilitate the reduction or temporary suspension of work time for firms that can more easily arrange temporary EREs.
- Provide redundancy objective, which is having a compensation of 20 days, as companies with "a negative economic situation" be fired individually or collectively the way from workers with compensation of 20 days per year worked, of which, 8 FOGASA pay.
In this kind of dismissal for economic reasons the employer must prove that the dismissals would help to overcome this situation, but now, the reform provides enough something as ambiguous as that "minimally infer the reasonableness of the measure." In addition, defects in the form of layoffs will not involve goals as before, nullity.
- Reduce the notice period from 30 to 15 days, which means that the dismissed employee will receive less than 15 days salary.
If it costs little fire, no matter what you call an indefinite contract, to be as precarious as a temporary one. The Reformation, far from combating insecurity is making it increasingly extended to groups of workers. To facilitate the dismissal, workers makes them more concerned with work not be dismissed that the working conditions imposed on them and the unemployed are more concerned about getting a job that the conditions of the contract. So we have where they wanted ...
With the legalization of the ETT in 1994, is legalized loan employees from one company to another (a practice that until then was considered a crime). For their part, accept the existing web of subcontractors used to mask the illegal transfer of workers. In this regard, the current reform,
- Expands the scope of the ETTs, which now may also shed workers and the public sector construction.
- and legalizing private employment agencies.
respect to wages, workers have already suffered in recent years successive wild price increases arising from the introduction of the euro and speculation. The reform deepens the loss of purchasing power workers as
- Provides the ability for companies to bypass problems of collective agreements and set wages below the set in the agreement.
The eight-hour workday (achieved with workers' blood) has disappeared in many sectors. In many companies, when there are gigs, workers have to stay and work overtime. How can treat the existence of overtime with 5 million unemployed? The reform does nothing to eliminate the overtime or piecework.
The right to a public system of social protection, based on the principle of solidarity is being attacked from all fronts. Instead it wants to implement a private system. The management has long gained significant reductions in the fees you pay to Social Security, so that the whole system is compromised. In fact, the first cut has been brutal on the provision of care dependency law. It seems that the next will be the pension reform (with the increase in the minimum contribution period and the delay in retirement age) and the reform of unemployment benefits (with the reduction in the amount of the benefit). Reform
work after labor reform, we have imposed the garbage contracts, the ETTs, subcontractors while they were away ... conquered by labor rights workers, over many years of struggle and sacrifice. For decades the only class that participates in the class struggle is the capitalist and the Counter-Reformation and those to come are the last offensive.
All these measures will continue spraying the rights of those working in the media, in the audiovisual production, in theaters, cinemas, in the printing, software companies and advertising ... Will continue to rampant illegal subcontracting, garbage contracts, pitiful wages, trade union repression. We must do something to prevent the worsening of the situation.
is time to defend ourselves. What can we do?
- join the strike. The general strike of September 29 is called by leaders of professional trade union CCOO and UGT trade union companies blame largely on prevailing passivity. The strike is called evil and later. Still, it is imperative that the majority of workers we join her. It is important to do everything possible against this counter, and the strike should also serve as a sign of social unrest as a deterrent to future attacks, sure to come.
- ORGANIZER . In addition to strikes and demonstrations on September 29, much more important is that after we continue to consciousness. That in our neighborhood or in our workplace we join with our peers and fight to improve our situation. To this end, we offer all members of the media, graphic arts and entertainment in Madrid, currently working or unemployed, our union. A union where the membership is what makes the base. Where we stand with the money we bring ourselves. Where we all work voluntarily without pay. A union to fight and to try to make our poor working conditions do not continue to worsen, what will happen if we do nothing.
