“The National School of Union Studies, far from being an “anti-union interference and affectation of institutionalized social dialogue”, it is a response to one of the demands of the working class, before the MTPE, to receive training in socio-labor regulations and health and safety at work ”, the portfolio subscribes.

They even detail that the launch of the National School for Union Studies had the participation and representation of: Central Autonomous Workers of Peru (CATP); CDN-Federación CUT Essalud; Central de Trabajadores del Peru (CTP); FENUTSSA-CGTP; FUNETCINCENCES, SUIT-SUNAFIL.
