The labor reform
agreed by the Minister of Labor
Yolanda Díaz
with the
CEOE, UGT and CCOO
will not have the parliamentary support of EH Bildu. Its general coordinator
Arnaldo Otegi
announced today that he is already working with ERC to amend this agreement during its parliamentary process after feeling "tremendously disappointed" by the agreed content. Otegi wants
other independentist leftist forces such
as the
BNG
or, even
More Country
, to join in his pressure to modify substantial aspects of the pact reached between the vice president and the social agents.
Otegi advanced his
critical position on
Thursday
just hours after the agreement was announced but he wanted to make public today that EH Bildu and ERC are already preparing draft amendments against the agreed content. The "central issue" of the
refusal of the nationalist coalition
to support these changes lies
in the "nationalization" of collective bargaining
. What the Basque and Catalan pro-independence parties claim as a red line is that the
regional and provincial agreements
are above the state sector agreements.
"We defend the
prevalence of regional agreements
because of the better conditions for our workers," stressed Otegi, who has denounced the gestation of an agreement that affects all workers without taking into account the institutions, the parties or the unions Basques.
The objective of EH Bildu is to
modify "in a structural way" the agreement
reached yesterday and to do so both in Congress together with the rest of Sánchez's pro-independence partners and on the street hand in hand with the nationalist unions such as ELA and LAB (majority with the 60% representation in Euskadi) very critical of an agreement in which they have not participated.
Otegi suspects that CEOE has achieved as a
condition
for closing the pact with Vice President Yolanda Díaz that
it is not modified in its parliamentary processing
as a bill and has launched a question addressed to President Pedro Sánchez: "with whom is the reform going to be carried out? labor?"
The general coordinator of Bildu recalled that at the start of the PSOE and Podemos legislature included in their government program
the "complete repeal" of Rajoy's labor reform
and that in May 2020 they signed a commitment with EH Bildu in the same sense .
"We comply," stressed Otegi, who has disconnected this negotiation from the budget process since EH Bildu will continue to support its approval in the plenary session scheduled for next week in Congress.
EH Bildu confirms that
"very harmful aspects"
remain
in a "small adjustment of the labor reform"
and focuses its concern on the pre-eminence of the sectoral collective agreements on which are agreed in each autonomous community.
To the defense of "a Basque labor relations framework" with a union majority made up of ELA and LAB other than that made up of the UGT and CCOO, there are claims about the
judicial control of the Employment Regulation Files (ERE
), the
compensation of layoffs
and conditions of ultra-activity.
Both ELA and LAB have questioned the agreement signed in Madrid by the Socialist Government with the social agents.
Mitxel Lakuntza
's union
has expressly demanded "frontal opposition" to this "lousy agreement" by PNV and EH Bildu.
ELA interprets that the agreement maintains the "ease of dismissal and the advantageous position in the collective bargaining of the employer."
LAB, for its part, believes that the agreement does not repeal the labor reform of the PP Government and the
content is adapted "to the extent of the employer
.
"
The Abertzale union also questions, like Otegi, the "nationalization" of collective bargaining and doubts that the agreement will be carried out.
In fact, it has already called on its delegates and affiliates to participate in
the mobilizations that it will carry out on January 27
.
