Portuguese Labor Code Reform Proceeds Without UGT Agreement

Radio Renascença Lisbon 6d5d Impact 5

The CIP, representing employers, has dropped several measures previously considered 'red lines' by the UGT labor union during social consultations on the Labor Code. These withdrawn measures include provisions regarding outsourcing, individual hour banks, reintegration after dismissal, continuous training, and the denunciation of collective agreements. Employer representative Hermínio Monteiro announced the decision. The CIP is now awaiting UGT approval on three remaining employer proposals, including the payment of a fifteenth month's salary in September. The reform of the Labor Code is moving forward in the Portuguese Parliament after a meeting between the Government, employer federations, and trade unions failed to reach an agreement.

Labor Minister Rosário da Palma Ramalho attributed the lack of progress to the UGT, describing the partner as intransigent and unable to allow necessary compromises. The UGT has declined to sign the proposed changes to the labor law.

“A consulta social sobre o Código Laboral, a CIP deixou cair várias das medidas consideradas linhas vermelhas pela UGT. O representante do patronato, Hermínio Monteiro, fez o anúncio.”

“A UGT não assina as alterações à lei laboral e a reforma do Código do Trabalho segue o seu caminho no Parlamento. Não houve acordo na reunião entre o Governo, com federações patronais e centrais sindicais.”
