The Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz, has stated that the Temporary Employment Regulation Files (ERTE) authorized to mitigate the effects of Covid-19 will be in force "as long as they are necessary."

The Government is therefore open to meeting the requests of businessmen and unions, with whom it meets tomorrow in Palma, and also to listen to the complaints of the shaken tourism sector, with which the Executive holds a meeting today, also in the Balearic capital.

"The ERTE has proven to be a necessary tool that has saved millions of jobs and they will be around as long as they are needed," Diaz stressed in an interview with the regional channel IB3.

This shield of social protection came to cover 3.38 million workers during the state of alarm and currently covers about 800,000 Spanish employees, 620,000 of these under the formula enabled against the health pandemic.

Currently, these ERTEs are enabled until September 30, as decided in June, but to review their validity, a tripartite meeting with social agents is contemplated, a possible extension that is debated this Friday.

Therefore, as they recall from the Ministry of Labor, the possibility of extending the measures has always been on the table, although the conditions during confinement can never be the same as those of the current reactivation panorama, they argue, a return to normality overwhelmed for the sprouts that have appeared in recent weeks.

Against this background, businessmen have come to request that the ERTE arrive until June of next year, in a request for entry that would go on to be settled this Friday at the expected tripartite meeting.

According to Díaz this Thursday morning, "it is absurd to set dates" to the ERTE, but new deadlines will be demanded at the aforementioned appointment.

In addition, Díaz has confirmed the urgency that the new teleworking law has for the Executive, after preparing up to five drafts with social agents and reaching what seems like an agreement this Tuesday: "Next week, shortly, this rule will to the Council of Ministers ".
