Labour Reform Bill: Updated Status

It is worth remembering that the labour reform was not discussed on Congress for almost three weeks. This absenteeism, which prevented the reform from being approved in the first debate. Even thought, the government assured the country, that the bill would be filed again on 20 July, this was not the fact.

The labour reform bill timeline can be summarised as follows:

1. Filing of the labour reform bill on 16 March, the government files the labour reform bill in the House of Representatives (Congress).
2. Bill transfer to Commission, on 24 March the draft of the bill is transferred to Committee VII (labour chamber).
3. On 31 March, all-party rapporteurs are appointed.
4. Lecture, between the 17 and 24 May three positive drafts and one draft closed on the labour bill are filed.
