The Minister of Labour is meeting this Monday, the 6th, with the UGT trade union and business confederations to discuss changes to labour law. Key points of contention include restrictions on outsourcing, the return of individual time banks, contract durations, and the reinstatement of workers in cases of unfair dismissal. While the government insists on extending fixed-term contract deadlines and removing mandatory reinstatement for unfair dismissals, the UGT maintains these are 'red lines'. The government has been holding separate meetings with the UGT and employer groups, excluding the CGTP, which has requested an urgent meeting with the President of the Republic to protest its exclusion from the negotiation process. Despite the lack of a final agreement, the government has signalled that the proposal will soon be submitted to Parliament.
