• Crisis Cards, registrations, contests, ERTE ... January sets off economic alarms

The Minister of Labor and Social Economy,

Yolanda Díaz

, stated this Friday that the temporary employment regulation files are not enough for the sectors most affected by the pandemic and has indicated that it would be "good" to open a reflection to help "a very important part of our economy. "

"In our country we are experiencing an unprecedented crisis and it is true that the forecasts we had are lengthening, because we are not in a process of immunity of the population and

everything is being delayed much more than expected,

" Díaz remarked in a interview with 'TVE' collected by Europa Press, where, however, he stressed that the levels of protection are "brutal".

Díaz recalled that tourism is "a little more than 12% of the GDP" of the country and "is suffering a lot now", as well as sectors such as transport, culture or leisure, for this reason he pointed out that it would be good to open a reflection with the sector "to see how it can help together with the autonomous communities".

Asked about the complaints of some citizens in ERTE to receive payment, Díaz has indicated that he is not aware of any collapse or anything similar and that the ERTE first pass through the competent labor authority, so "until they reach the Public Service of State Employment (SEPE) ", it cannot be paid.

In addition, he recalled that the Public Employment System is reinforced "

with 1,500 temporary people

" and has defended that this situation is not real except "specific" cases

"The process belongs to the regional labor authority," Díaz explained, but that collapse, in his opinion, "is not real," he said, before stating that the problems are almost always due to processing errors.

"If there is someone who has a file that has arrived at the SEPE and has not yet been paid, it is so simple that they contact us and we will observe it."

Four-day workday

"The issue of this century in labor matters is, without a doubt, the uses of our time," explained the minister.

The Ministry, therefore, is not working "on rigid proposals."

"What good is it that we work four days a week

if we work those four days 12 hours a day

?" Diaz wondered.

"I think it is not an appropriate approach."

Likewise, he acknowledged that he does not share the idea of ​​satisfying "with public money" that one-day reduction approach, although he does share "the elaboration of an advanced law of uses that prioritizes internal flexibility, the adaptation of the working day to the life of the workers and the workers and in a different way ".
