The Second Vice President and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díazhas announced that this coming Friday will bring together the social agents to start drawing up the scholarship holder’s statutewhich will provide a catalog of rights to “hundreds of thousands of young people”.
In an interview on TVE, Díaz explained this Tuesday that the Ministry of Labor has summoned the CEOE and Cepyme employers and the UGT and CCOO unions to the social dialogue table to negotiate this statusthat the labor reform gave a period of six months to have it approved.
With this “wide-ranging” rule, Díaz has said, it will provide protection to “hundreds of thousands of young people who have been forced by the misuse of labor formulas that are often fraudulent.”
“We are going to have a broad look, first by telling the people subject to this modality that they will have a catalog of rights“, according to which they will be able, for example, to receive compensation for expenses if they use their own mobiles and laptops in their performance, he explained.
It is also intended to provide rights in the field of Social Securityly end with the figure of the false intern when “in reality they occupy structural jobs”, something that Díaz has considered “the scourge of precariousness that plagues youth in Spain”.
Regarding the negotiation that employers and unions maintain to try to reach a wage agreement for the coming years, Díaz has considered that it is not possible to “punish more those who have less in a country in which salary income is low”.
“We have not made the workers pay for managing this crisis,” said Díaz, who made it clear that the government “will continue to protect companies and workers if necessary.”
Regarding the affiliation and unemployment data for April, although the month has not yet ended, the second vice president has assured that “they are very positive” and will exceed the record figures for permanent contracts of March.
