The outbreaks due to the coronavirus in different parts of Spain have broken into the final stretch of the negotiation to extend the files on temporary employment regulation (ERTE) until September, although the scheme that the Government is discussing to take companies and workers to the The new normal does not include the cases in which those same companies and workers must go back to previous stages in the health alert.

Companies and unions resume discussions this morning with the aim of reaching an agreement that can endorse an extraordinary Council of Ministers next Friday. The pact will extend until September public aid to companies affected by the consequences of the health alert and has had in the degree of exemptions from quotas to Social Security for companies that remain in ERTE or those that leave it the greatest obstacle in the talks. The Government's objective is to encourage companies to return to normalcy so that they can maintain the payment of wages and contributions on their own.

However, the outbreaks that occurred in different parts of Spain led Vice President Carmen Calvo yesterday to remember that the Government has in hand to reactivate the state of alarm and the limitations that it entails to curb contagions at the local or regional level. The reminder was later qualified by the government spokesperson, María Jesús Montero.

For its part, the Ministry of Health indicated that all regrowths are under control. The most serious of them, registered in Huesca, has led the districts of Cinca Bajo, Cinca Medio and La Litera, in Huesca, to go back to Phase 2 of the health alert , affecting an estimated population of 60,000 people and leading to the temporary suspension of companies in the area.

The social agents recognized yesterday that the possibility of going back in stages instead of moving forward is not in the discussions that are taking place to extend the ERTE and make them evolve from the use of force majeure to that of economic and operational causes with aid. The Ministry of Labor indicated that all situations will be followed "on a case-by-case basis" and, in any case, indicated that it will be in dialogue with companies and unions that the consequences of these outbreaks will be discussed.

The return to confinement measures due to outbreaks is also taking place in certain regions of countries such as Germany and, depending on how drastic the measures are to avoid contagion, restrictions on mobility may affect the industry, tourism, celebration of events and everything that has led to establishing protection schemes that accumulate costs of billions of euros.

Companies, unions and the Government have focused their efforts on protecting the business and workers fabric in a transit towards normality and on laying the foundations to prevent a harsh fall in labor matters, but not on the transit in the coming weeks occurring in the opposite direction. . "It is not on the table right now under what conditions should we return to the ERTE of total force majeure if there is a very serious outbreak but in any case we can approve it in subsequent meetings because social dialogue is constant," explains one of the members. of this tripartite negotiating table.

The extension until September 30 of the temporary employment regulation files (ERTEs) related to the coronavirus in which it prohibits companies in ERTEs, whether due to force majeure or for objective reasons, the establishment of overtime, the establishment or the resumption of outsourcing of the activity and the conclusion of new contracts, either directly or through a temporary employment agency (ETT)
