After failing by a firm in its intention to obtain an opinion for the initiative of “union democracy“, which reforms the leadership formation of the unions and its scope on the affiliates, members of the Radical Civic Union (UCR) They presented a legal basis to insist on voting on the project in Deputies next week.
The initiative that aims to elimination of indefinite re-elections for general secretaries, the elimination of the mandatory solidarity fee and the implementation of the clean record for union members. Likewise, the regulation of a five-member body in the leadership of unions with representation of minorities is proposed and new election schemes for union social work were established. However, at the last meeting of the Labor Legislation Commission, The project promoted by the UCR and the PRO obtained 15 signatures and did not reach the opinion. That was no reason for Martín Tetaz (UCR), head of the commission, insist with the request.
The interpretation he makes Tetaz dates back to a vote on April 21, 2010which points out that “For a dispatch to be valid, the signature of the majority of the members of each of the commissions is necessary.”. In this framework, it analyzes that “it is legal that the body cannot change the regulations without a prior opinion from the corresponding commission or in any case it would have needed a special majority” and concludes: “Considering that this interpretative resolution was approved with 141 positive votes vs 91 negative votes […] cannot in any way correct the regulation forward“.
The request, which seeks to meet next Tuesday, November 26 (choice that would imply coming across another request for a meeting, from his radical peers from the bloc Democracy Forever), remained in the hands of the holder of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem. Beyond the fact that his decision would set a precedent that would reform the interpretation of legislative practice, it is pertinent to highlight that Freedom Advances nor did it accompany in its entirety the opinion of the UCR.
Another peculiarity is that in the last meeting of the Labor Legislation Commission The project did obtain a majority opinion the UCR and the PRO of reform of the labor creditswhich establishes a pure interest rate of 3% per year” for compensation while the time of the judicial litigation elapses. However, that proposal was not included in the agenda.
Last meeting of the Labor Legislation Commission
At first there was plenty of consensus for the approval of the opinion, but the proximity between the CGT and Casa Rosada They brought down the project in September, when representatives of La Libertad Avanza desisted from supporting radicalism. However, they once again obtained support for this new meeting. They needed 16 of the 31 signatures, but a last-minute drop took away key support: the cordoban Alejandra Torres (Federal Meeting) gave his place on the commission to the head of his block, Miguel Pichettowho is more in tune with union leaders.
“I come to express my rejection of the proposal,” he began Pichettowho after listing labor reforms already approved in the Bases law said: “It seems to me that a purely parliamentary debate is not enough, it is essential to call the representatives of the union organizations because there are some experiences that have been very frustrating in Argentine history. when it comes to addressing these issues. “We have to be realistic about the limits that the Government has and the Government itself did not understand”concluded and confirmed that the drafters of the opinion would rely on 15 signatures.
Later, and with some sarcasm, a representative of unionism, the man from Santiago José Gómez (Union for the Homeland)gave Peronism a scare: “My colleagues are going to excuse me, but I am going to support the radical decision of not re-election in the unions… but as long as we, in the Chamber of Deputies, put a clause that we cannot be re-elected“. “This is legislating on issues that do not concern us. The people have the power to vote and the member has the power to vote,” he concluded.
