What does the Trade Union Democracy project say?

The majority report that LLA and the dialogue blocs will promote proposes changes on an issue of extreme sensitivity for the union authorities: prohibits the mandatory discount of solidarity contributions. Thus, the draft of that office establishes that “Contributions may not be required or imposed on workers in a mandatory manner” and that any discount must have the “express authorization of the worker“, which may be revoked at any time by telegram or any other reliable means of communication.

On the financing of unions, the office also seeks prohibit unions from receiving financial aid from employers, national public bodies or foreigners.

Another key point of the project is that it eliminates the possibility of indefinite reelectionas it currently exists, and provides for a single re-election.

It also establishes direct changes to the management of these bodies, requiring that management be exercised by a body having at least five members. They must be chosen in a way that ensures the will of the majority and minority.

In this sense, it also establishes that They must guarantee minorities in the deliberative and governing bodies when they had obtained the same more than 25% of valid votes issued by its members. Thus, for the deliberative bodies the D’Hont system will be applied, while in the board of directors of the management the winner will have the two thirds and the first minority the remaining third.

Another of the major points of debate is the establishment of the “Clean Record”. Thus, the draft establishes that in order to occupy a position in the leadership, it is not possible to have civil or criminal inhibitions, nor a final criminal convictionunder the same conditions established in current legislation.

In this context, the development of the Clean Record law promoted by the ruling party and dialogue blocs will be key, which establishes that with a second instance conviction one cannot be a candidate for an elective office.

Finally, the office also determines the worker’s free choice of social security, after having complied with three months of permanence in the same since the beginning of the employment relationship. In this regard, the draft specifies that workers “may exercise the right of option, after remaining three months in the Social Work corresponding to the branch of their activity.”
