The Minister of Labor insists on registration of janitors: “So we would know if they have problems with the law.”

The Lima Metropolitan Council approved yesterday, Friday, a resolution that prohibits windshield wiper services in the capital. This measure was supported by Mayor Rafael López Allaga and received the approval of 39 councilors and the burgomaster himself.

As a result, the Minister of Labor Alfonso Adrianzeninsisted that itinerant workers providing this service be registered with local authorities.

“There is no exact number of everyone who does this work, and this was a statement. I think they should register and that way we would also know their names, their identities if they were in trouble with the law,” he said.

Similarly, he urged private companies and civil society in general to “better understand” the issue.

“People who go out to do small jobs to find resources in the informal sector do so because they don’t have formal jobs. So the ministry intends to visualize this problem and call on the forces of private companies and society as a whole to better understand the problem,” he said.

It should be noted that the request to register these workers was also made last Monday when he was consulted on what was then a proposal from the mayor of Lima.

“[Los municipios] They have to register people who work in informal services, but also give them the opportunity to perform them with dignity. It is difficult to register them, but it is possible,” he said about this.

Carlos Bruce demands that MTPE provide a job, an alternative to janitors.

Mayor Groove, Charles Brucewas in support of a draft ordinance approved by the Council of the Municipality of Lima prohibiting the holding of the service wiper outpatient in the capital.

IN News extensionthe burgomaster showed himself against proposals by Alfonso Adriansen, head of the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (PETM), register janitors instead of banning such activities.

In this sense, Bruce demanded PETM look for an alternative to the work of wipers to find a solution to this problem. For the former minister, this function is not the responsibility of the municipalities.

“I think this is something that the Minister of Labor should work on, because among our obligations (municipalities) there is, among other things, the security of citizens; but not job creation. Creating jobs is a responsibility that falls on the national government,” he said.

“I would say to the Department of Labor, ‘Do your job, create jobs, register these people and offer them alternative jobs.’ Do not shift this responsibility to the mayors, it is not ours, but yours,” he added.
