The Chamber of Deputies approved the bill for former mutual workers House of Galicia, upon reaching a majority made up of legislators from the Wide Front, Open Town Hall, he PERI and some members of the National Party.
The ruling party indicated that the rule “is not viable,” focusing on the fact that it represents a disbursement of 32 million dollars in compensation more than 1,000 people were laid off, when the government initiative planned to disburse 8 million dollars, which had already generated friction between the blocks.
The proposal considers that the payment of labor credits former officials must be financed from the employer insolvency fund, with a limit of 105,000 indexed units, of around 611,000 pesos.
At the same time, a job bank was created to which State Health Services Administration (Asse) and private health providers will have to go when they want to hire staff.
The FA deputy, Lucia Etcheverry, considered that the project “has instruments in each article so that what are workers’ rights can be fulfilled, which is to collect the compensation that corresponds to them” and stated that “whatever continues to be recovered from this institution, will be reintegrated to the labor insolvency fund or to general income.”
Criticism of the ruling party and the possibility of a veto
The legislator María Eugenia Roselló established the position of the majority of the ruling party by pointing out that “this norm is not viable and will not be able to be met,” anticipating the possibility that the president Luis Lacalle Pou have to move forward with a veto.
Roselló described the law as “unconstitutional”, focusing on the fact that the original idea provided for an expenditure of 8 million dollars and the current one is 30 million dollars. In the same way, Pedro Jisdonian (PN) admitted that “it will be Presidency who decides.”
Also Etcheverry gave his opinion on the eventual veto. “It is always a possibility of Executive”, He admitted, although he clarified that “in this case it would be a contradiction,” contrasting that the law “does not generate anything new,” so the government “would veto itself.”
