can be really difficult to decide whether to support or not this strike, and even more if you are for or against. Probably will be the case that many have to do something about which they disagree, beginning with the millions of unemployed people who must feel ambivalent feelings about the strike. It is difficult to provide guidelines or lights, and also mixed many legitimate interests and stakeholders, political and social, however it is necessary to propose sensible and analysis although in practice and what are the mood turned, it chimerical. But something you can try, and say nothing is not a solution.
Following the adoption of labor reform, it's time to try to formulate some conclusions about its scope and content, as well as the general strike call by CC.OO. and UGT for September 29,
approved labor reform now in Congress is clearly delineates its objectives (lowering the timing, place the conditions for a lower job destruction and subsequent creation of it), but leaves air the realization of the processes to achieve these goals.
From the trade union world, and although no such criticism has been expressed clearly, what most concerns the unions is the change in collective bargaining. Opens the door to give greater weight to the covenants of business from sectoral agreements. This measure, targeted because they can descend to the particular situation of a company outside the agreement in the industrial or service for which it is attached, reduces the weight or pressure of the unions bargaining at sectoral level.
The second major block of issues of reform lies in the procurement system. Pursued, and I think is another good goal, reform the duality in the labor market between permanent workers with permanent contracts and temporary contract workers, and reduce the high rate of temporary employees (25%), one of the highest in the EU.
The temporary contract must be reduced to the circumstances really temporary in productive activity. During the expansionary phase of the economy, the temporary contract allowed the companies to create more jobs not linked to the obligations of a permanent hiring and firing at a cost of zero in most cases but has shown the disastrous effect this type of hiring in times of crisis, to be able to dismiss at the same time ending the temporary contract. And has made fraudulent use of such contract, to be used to regulate temporary ongoing activities without creating a category of unprotected workers or infraprotegidos.
Nevertheless, no reform has taken the necessary and urgent to bring our labor market to the operation of other European markets. And as a coping mechanism, the main trade unions decided to convene statewide, with almost three months before a general strike to express their dissatisfaction with the steps already taken by the Government in June as a decree law (now become law after parliamentary procedure). A strike is called as the late, untimely, decontextualized and more focused in its dimension in social policy, and is the last thing we need.
must find other formulas to channel labor disputes, with the responsibility of all actors and not used as hostages and affected users of public services and the workers themselves.
Hopefully all keep in mind that needs to be done from the day after the strike. Among other things did not go on talking about who had more reason or who won the strike.
