Labor explodes against the CEOE and will negotiate only with the unions the reform of the law on the prevention of occupational risks
The Ministry of Labor and Social Economy explodes against the CEOE after twenty months of negotiation at the tripartite table in which the Government, employers and unions negotiate the future reform of the Occupational Risk Prevention Law. The Secretary of State for Labor, Joaquín Pérez Rey, denounced this Wednesday the “unaffordable, inconsequential and delaying” attitude that employers have shown throughout this period, closed the table and announced that from now on he will negotiate only with the representatives of CCOO and UGT.
The ‘number two’ of the ministry led by Yolanda Díaz has accused the employers of wanting to continue negotiating “until we see if the Government falls.” In his speech, Pérez Rey assured that the Executive “is deeply disappointed” with the businessmen’s way of proceeding. “I have been leading this table for some years now and I have never seen such a dilatory attitude, such an inconsequential attitude and an attitude basically of holding back, of not moving forward in what is being negotiated,” he denounced.
