The national deputy of the Left Front Myriam Bregman rejected the new project Base Law from the national government that obtained an opinion this Thursday and will be discussed in Congress starting next Monday.
In addition, the lawyer and national representative of the Socialist Workers Party revealed that in the halls of parliament “it is said” that several legislators “are going to turn around” at the time of the final vote: “Let us all be attentive that the deputies do not start missing and get sick at the last minute, let no one fall asleep“Bregman warned in AM750.
Women, the most affected sector
One of the most scandalous points for the left-wing legislator is the elimination of the pension moratorium. In its place, the old regime will be replaced by the system of Universal Pension for the Elderlylegislation voted in 2017 during the Government of Mauricio Macriwith the consent of several opposition blocks.
The system PUAM is aimed at people who do not have the corresponding 30 years of contributions to retire, it is equivalent to 80 percent of a minimum retirement, applies to men and women from 65 years and does not contemplate the right to a widow’s pension.
In that sense, Bregman pointed out that, upon repealing the pension moratorium, 9 out of 10 women They would be transferred to the pension system and, consequently, the retirement age would be de facto modified, which under current legislation applies from 60 years. “They are ending the Argentine pension system”settled the deputy in Listen to Page 12.
On the other hand, he also warned that Milei’s mega reform lowers compensation for employees of private homes and makes rural employment more flexible: “There is a characteristic of the dominant classes of our country, They have always sought to have agricultural work and cheap domestic employment“Bregman joked.
Among the new developments in labor matters, the Mileist government project also admits the possibility that the pregnant women work up to ten days before their due date. The text does not establish an obligation, but for the lawyer it leaves the workers in a situation of vulnerability to pressure from their employers.
Another sensitive modification is the enabling of the severance fund that governs the UOCRA and its extension to the rest of the labor market. As he explained, the regime in question enables the employer to retain the 8 percent of the worker’s salary and the creation of a reserve so that, at the time of dismissal, “you pay your own compensation.” “It is breaking the Employment Contract law as we know it”he opined.
Finally, the legislator urged society to demonstrate against the ruling party’s project and questioned the CGT and CTA for not advancing the measure of force planned for the next May 9.
“Are they going to emerge post mortem, with the labor reform approved?“Bregman ironically said that the future of the law will depend “on what happens on the street.”
