Confiepe: “Investment is falling and this is creating fewer jobs”

This Monday business associations and unions have met at the MTPE National Labor Council to review the labor issue, but so far consensus has been reached on only one of the four issues discussed.

One of guilds The National Confederation of Private Business Institutions (Confiep) was in attendance and warns that some of the measures proposed by the government will result in thousands of jobs being lost and hundreds of businesses closing.

Even Confiep President Oscar Kaipo notes that it is not seen that the executive branch has a “north” in terms of economic issues, which implies that Workwhich continues to deteriorate.

“The most vulnerable sectors have lost 30% of their purchasing power. We do not see the government taking specific measures to alleviate the situation of this vulnerable group, but not to revive the economy, to build confidence. Investment is falling this year. , it decreases, and when investment is reduced, fewer jobs are created,” he said at the RPP.

Kaipo commented that one of the actions that employers disagree with is not to outsource labor.

In principle, the trade union representative points out that Ministry of Labor did not discuss the measure with the National Labor Board prior to its adoption, and hence the reason why companies outsource some of their activities was not understood.

“This supreme decree was approached incorrectly. He wants to solve the problem of outsourcing denaturation by the process outsourcing prohibition mechanism when he is in nuclear processes without considering that there are many industries that require hiring specialized services to obtain nuclear processes in companies so that the business can normally operate efficiently and competitively There are specialized services drilling, explosives, which companies could not contact with this permanent staff, because this is not an activity that happens every month or every week,” he said.

What does the National Labor Council evaluate?

Kaipo has now indicated that in National Labor Councilmade up of government, workers and employers, has made progress on one of the four agenda items.

“The first point is to be able to finalize and sign a declaration of commitment of the three parties that make up the National Labor Council so that we can make this space more efficient, so that they help us create more jobs, more formalities,” he said.

Representative Confidentiality indicates that negotiations should continue after July 28 to evaluate measures such as the formula for the institutionalization of a living wage increase, which will determine how often this increase will occur; and it will also seek to define the methodology for the draft working code.
