The deployment of the Catalan company to limit the application of the reduction of day to 37.5 hours intensifies on all possible fronts so that the Juns votes in Congress get the project of greater size of the Minister of Labor … Yolanda Díaz, for this legislature. Aware of the relevance of the seven votes of the Junts parliamentary group, Catalan executives They are heading towards Waterloo, where Carles Puigdemont has its fled residence from justice. In parallel, another part of entrepreneurs accelerate their Contacts in Barcelona with those responsible for the independence party on which it depends that this rule goes ahead in its process in Congress, and whose path will begin to travelra beginning of March.
The pilgrimage of entrepreneurs on flights to Belgium, where Puigdemont is located since he would flee after the renovum of October 1, 2017, has already materialized With the visit of Jaume Roura, President of the Metallurgical Patronage (UPM) and the Catalan employer of the automotive distribution (FECVEM); as well as by Joan Guillén, of the Consell de Gremis. The presence of both figures is not a ballad, having had the relevance of cars and tourism sector in the Catalan economy. Because, for example, on large production factories, such as Seat, thousands of small businesses and jobs linked to that Barcelona factory depend.
Entrepreneurs aspire to make other visits and have contact With the former president of the Generalitat, according to corporate sources to ABC. Puigdemont depends on the future of the law that reduces the day from 40 to 37.5 hours and the success of an agreed measure between Yolanda Díaz and the unions without the employer’s consensus. The parliamentary process is configured as the most relevant to include amendments that soften the norm.
This is what many other entrepreneurs are noted, who do not go to Waterloo, but they do have increasingly intense interlocution with those responsible for Junts in Barcelona. Up to 15 great employers have already developed conversations with the independentists to expose their “concern” – they apply – for the impact of this measure and have transferred their “disagreement” with the reduction of the working day. Among the best known are AECOC (Association of large consumption companies), Confecat (hospitality and restoration), FECIC (meat industry) or Fedequim (chemistry), as ABC has been able to know. In this large group there are many other associations of sectors such as commerce, concessionaires, camps, graphic arts, agricultural, textiles, transport, private hospitals and even sports associations.
Hours registration, priority
Of all the doubts generated by Díaz’s project, one of the most important is focused Change the terms of the time record that includes the law and that forces all businesses to be digital. That means that you have to have some type of application that enables the registration of inputs and outputs and storage of that data. Work wants to give inspection the possibility of consulting those data live telematic. And if they detect irregularities, the sanctions reach up to 10,000 euros.
The other requirement that Catalan employers are putting on the Junts table goes through a flexibility of deadlines so that SMEs can apply the reduction of legal schedules less strictly. It is the same warning that CEOE and Cepyme. The law determines that on December 31 of this year all businesses must have adapted their working days at that half hour less per day. Throughout Spain, it is a change for about 12 million workers, whose conditions or agreements are in 40 hours per week. The Ministry of Labor itself admitted in its normative memora that the sectors that will have to be converted will be those of agriculture, commerce and hospitality, and in general the micropymes.
In the department directed by Yolanda Díaz they do not want to hear about red lines that cannot be transferred. They point out that they are not in that phase. But government sources recognize that the text, as configured, You have few chances of getting ahead with the endorsement of a congress as fragmented and a majority of government weakened after episodes such as the Omnibus decree.
Another in extremis law
The Executive’s doubts are settled in knowing if Juns will choose to include amendments, with the demands that the Catalan employer is raised; or if you will opt for last minute and ask for an alien measure to the working day itself and linked to the political time.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Economy is positioning for parliamentary negotiation, after the tension that was lived between its owner, Carlos Body, and the Minister of Labor throughout the month of January. In these episodes of friction, seasoned with up to two meetings between the two to agree on how to process the norm, body agreed that the law passed through the Council of Ministers without changes, as Diaz with UGT and CC.OO had agreed to it by the law. From there, the Department of Economics and Company will participate in the changes, pending “accompany” To SMEs in the transition, as the body itself has been insisting in recent weeks.
