In addition, these tourist entrepreneurs are not “favorable” to that decrease at 37.5 hours per week “without having the negotiation and agreement of all social agents, including business representation.”

In his opinion, “the Minister forget that in the Hospitality of the Valencian Community, the effective work day agreed in the different collective agreements is already 37.5 hours and has not explained which regime will be adopted for companies that work in 24/7 shifts, in which the shifts eight hours are necessary to fit the production rhythms, ”according to its president, Fede Fuster.

Given this imposition, they hope to see «the small print of this labor reform and how it will fit with what has already been agreed in collective agreements«. Fuster has indicated.

In the absence of knowing all the detail of the legislative processing “of great draft”, the business representation of Valencian tourism anticipates that “undoubtedly will be seen impact in the prices“, Since” we must not forget that social costs are approximately 40% of the total expenses of the results account of tourism companies that are very intensive in the use of people. “

Hosbec will actively participate in both CEOE as in the Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Housing Cehat to work on collective bargaining frameworks in order to “minimize the impact of this initiative and adapt it to the reality of a sector that does not find labor relief and that will choose to mechanize many processes due to the lack of available personnel” .

Salvador NavarroPresident of CEV and Fede Fuster, president of Hosbec, maintains a common position and claim the “true social dialogue” for their implementation, in the line with what is already expressed by the highest national business representative, Antonio Garamendiof the CEOE.

“A measure of this draft taken apart from collective bargaining, which is where true social dialogue occurs, is reckless and will affect our competitiveness,” Fuster has abounded.
