On 2 February, signed the agreement for social and economic growth, employment and pension security.
Similarly, it is primarily the reform of pensions, employment policies, labor reform and collective bargaining.
These four points are the most significant or important agreement. However, it also covers other topics like energy policy or technological innovation, in which we will not go.
Any of these four points represent a programmatic statement, that per se can not be put into practice, without a subsequent provisions or regulations governing them.
However, be aware that these future arrangements that regulators may change the original meaning, such as the regulation of development of job layoffs, we dare to make a brief comment on these four points of the text .
point star, as we all know, is the pension reform, which among other things, provides for the extension of working life until age 67, delayed retirement age, extending the period for calculating contributions determine the retirement pension so that there is a greater proportion of the contribution and the final delivery, and others who initially sought the support of the system, with a commitment to review every five years depending on the evolution of life expectancy. This no longer a proposal, given that it will take to the parliamentary process to see what their true scope.
The second agreement aims at promoting active employment policies, primarily for the unemployed, to guide and train them, proposing the establishment of incentives to improve the employability of groups with integration difficulties. Despite the good intentions misses are not being talked about facilities for companies, which are the ones who should generate employment.
The third point deals with the development of labor reform, specifically the job layoffs and the merits of capitalization of compensation, tasks that were pending at the passage of the law 35/2010 of 17 September and that Today, despite the time elapsed, have not been approved. My opinion on this subject and is known for publishing on it and I will not dwell further.
The last section, reflects the bipartisan agreement signed between unions and employers' organizations on the basic criteria for reform collective bargaining and calls for its revitalization and adaptation to the needs of businesses and workers. In short, most policy statements.
What gives us the signing of the partnership agreement, apart from having achieved a tripartite pact?
The bottom line is job creation and that means making decisions that help achieve this. One of them, and understand that the most important passes through a reorganization of the current financial system. If you do not give loans to small and medium enterprises, self and family, hard, for many economic and social agreements are signed, the situation is not only waterproof, but it will get worse, day.
The Social and Economic Agreement, signed last week, as we said before, we collect four points of great content and significance, but nevertheless, the focus is the modification of the pension system. The other was a filling, only program that provides no concrete measures to provide solutions.
Example, among others, is the subject of collective bargaining.
The agreement states quote: "Collective bargaining is structured and structuring problems of legitimacy, internal flexibility, innovation and content adaptation, fitness management difficulties, among others. "
In another paragraph, talking about strengthening the elements of consultation, interpretation, resolving discrepancies, etc.. Precisely for this topic for several decades, in every collective agreement, as required content, the creation of a joint committee of the agreement, which must necessarily come when there is the need for interpretation, clarification or discrepancies and this and essential step prior to going to the Labour Court and other media including extrajudicial settlement of conflicts as the Labour Court and Arbitration, created in all the Autonomous Communities. Any professional
Labour Law as entering into this article, which has negotiated over one hundred conventions, corporate, provincial and autonomous, can not understand this statement of intent as reflected in that AES.
We do not know what we want to achieve. If indeed improve negotiation, praise be, but social workers who sit at a negotiating table are, at that time sovereign in its decisions and often struggle with all their knowledge to achieve the maximum improvement of economic, aid and trade union for all their constituents.
In another vein, claiming that the social representatives agree that the salary increase is less than the CPI, established the previous year, very difficult to be accepted, saying, not unreasonably, that can not appear before the assembly of the bases, saying that their wages have lost purchasing power and they have signed it. All this regardless of which is then agreed upon.
In short, it would be very useful to know precisely who will do or that will include the reform of collective bargaining, because until now it's like a pipe dream of good intentions (we assume), we understand, is not high on this set measures.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we read today in the print media that the Government has announced amendments to be submitted either verbatim or partial to try to improve the initiative has been agreed by the Executive relating to pensions.
So what will be the social economic agreement?.
