Labor Reform Summary

One of the emphasis that is making the labor agenda today is determined by the changes being promoted with regards to collective labor law, aimed straight at the topics of workers' unions, collective bargaining and strike regulation.

Indeed, on December 29th 2014, the Executive Branch sent to the National Congress the "Modernization of the Labor Relations System Draft Bill" which introduces a number of substantive changes that want to be implemented in what refers to the collective labor rights, such as: replacement of striking workers, union representation, "minimum cap" of collective bargaining, among other subjects.

In view of the scale of the changes that have been announced in this area, as a law firm - and in what has become a usual practice-, we are constantly monitoring both the scope of the amendments and subsequent parliamentary discussion.
