This Tuesday the Labor Commission of Congress approved by majority an opinion that falls on bills 537 and 903, with which it seeks to modify the Law of collective labor relations and the Law of collateral labor relations.
In summary, the initiative seeks, for example, to facilitate procedures such as the discount of union dues when there is an agreement of the organization with the sole request of the union, as well as to facilitate union permits 24 hours in advance, without the need to justify it.
Likewise, it states that there is an obligation to deliver labor economic reports to employees, regardless of whether a collective agreement has been signed with them; added to the new forms of striking and that the preference of arbitration be prohibited when the workers decide to exercise this right and thus there is no collective bargaining agreement.
In addition, another of the proposed modifications is that the right to strike does not require prior administrative or judicial channels and that the essential content of the strike considers ground 41 of judgment 008-2005-PI/TC in the case of the framework law of public employment (the strike as a measure of force backed by law).
Finally, it is also proposed that the strike for non-compliance with legal and conventional provisions be based on documents and the justification of absences during one, not be declared illegal.
The bill argues that promoting union rights, together with collective bargaining and strike action, creates a healthy work environment for workers, translating into a good working environment and, in the long term, greater productivity.
