Labour Minister, Carlos Marx Carrasco, and the chairman of the Subcommittee of Workers, Fausto Cayambe (AP), insisted yesterday on the “need” to approve labor amendments which arise in the bill of the ruling party and will be subjected to second debate in December this year.
When leaving from a meeting of the Subcommittee in the Assembly yesterday, the minister said that even when the conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) on the rights of public sector workers are ratified, amendments have much more sense. “With or without the ratification of these agreements the amendments are fundamental,” he said.
For the unions, the ratification of the conventions would open the possibility that amendments are changed, that the one that removes the word “workers” remain and the one that referes to all public sector workers are regulated by a single standard is “modulated.”
