National Senator Carolina Losada attacked sectors that sought to instill fear in society and staunchly defended the labor reform, under the argument that the initiative only seeks to provide legal certainty to a system that already works in practice. According to what the Argentine News Agency could learn, the Santa Fe legislator firmly stated that the law promotes consensus and freedom of negotiation, while completely dismissing complaints that pointed to an attack on acquired rights. "The last word belongs to negotiation," she stressed, emphasizing that the primary objective is to bring tranquility and predictability to a highly litigious labor market, thus ending what she considered a lack of empathy from union sectors that resist change. "It cannot be that there is no certainty when calculating compensation and it is left to the discretion of the courts on duty," she sentenced, pointing directly against the discretion of judges. She explained that the reform seeks to establish clear parameters, maintaining the month per year worked but excluding additional payments that made the amounts "unpayable" for small employers. Finally, Losada insisted that the spirit of the law is to strengthen the bond between worker and employer through dialogue and not through imposition. "They were dedicated to generating fear in the population and underestimating people," the senator fired in dialogue with Radio Rivadavia, who considered that the debate must be profound to dismantle the prejudices installed. Losada clarified that the project intends to legalize dynamics that already exist in the daily life of companies, such as the time bank, and was categorical in denying the specter of precariousness: "It does not imply that they lose overtime or that they make you work 18 hours a day; they said that to scare people, they said we were going to be slaves". The senator focused on the protection of SMEs and the urgency of curbing the litigation industry that, in her view, jeopardizes the source of work for thousands of families.
