Once again, the Ministry of Labor and businessmen do not understand each other. Just like last week in the negotiations to reform occupational hazard prevention, as in the attempt to reduce working hours and as in the last five increases in the minimum wage. The expansion of death permits planned by the ministry – for the past ten days, instead of two to four days now – also reconciles the position of the government with that of business, as the Secretary of State for Labour, Joaquín Pérez Rey, explained after the second meeting on the subject, which was held this year. Juventus in the afternoon. A number of ministers have closed negotiations with CEOE and Cepyme, which refuse to expand, and will seek an agreement with the CC OO and UGT unions. For this future agreement to become law, it will require parliamentary approval. Both Pérez Rey and the central offices have asked the groups to take a position in favor of the amendment.
“We are concluding this table with employers to regulate permissions and we will seek to reach an agreement with the unions, how we will do to prevent risks,” said the Secretary of State, strongly criticizing the employer’s refusal to increase permissions. “Does anyone have any doubt that a two-day permit is clearly insufficient? Can you solve the pain of losing a family member? Does anyone understand that they can have a worker the day after losing a child? Can there be a worker the day after losing a child?”
The relationship between the minister and employers is going from bad to worse, with the intensity of blame increasing. Last week, after the end of the dialogue with the CEO on risk prevention, Pérez Rey considered that the employer had extended these negotiations in an “unfair” way, waiting for the “fall” of the government; The employer objected to this, accusing the ministry of “exploiting the death of workers to accuse companies of exposing them to danger.” This time, Antonio Garamendi spoke with the same message, accusing the minister of “using death to make politics.” “Garamendi attacks personally to cover up his irresponsibility,” Jovis Diaz objected to this on the social network Bluesky.
The negotiators held a dialogue last July about the project on the table, which was planned for last October 20. Subsequently, although the topic of this meeting was the reform of separation compensation (negotiations that CEOE and Cepyme abandoned), the Yolanda Díaz administration unveiled a bill to expand the death permit and create new licenses, palliative care and support in euthanasia (for one day).
The palliative care system, according to the writer’s project, grants up to 15 days to care for spouses, spouses, or parents up to the second degree due to blood relatives who need palliative care. “The exercise of the right these days, the worker volunteers, can be divided into two parts, over a period of three months, starting from the first day on which the worker resorts to this permission and until the end of the death of the person who needs this care,” Trabago points out in his proposal.
This permission can only be used once in relation to a person in palliative care, “without prejudice to the right of the working person to further protection and, during this period, to permissions for hospitalization or surgical intervention without admission to hospital”.
