Buenos Aires, Feb 17 (NA) – The Government would accept the modifications made by the Chamber of Deputies to the labor reform project to approve it on Thursday, February 19, and return it to the upper house the next day. In this sense, the final objective would be to turn it into law on Friday, February 27, official sources told the Argentine News Agency. From the heart of the official political group, they believe that after meeting next Thursday, as stipulated in the libertarian schedule, the text would be quickly sent to the Senate so that Senator and bloc head LLA, Patricia Bullrich, can have it reported on Friday, 20 in committee, they detailed to NA. Although on Monday morning, as published by Agency NA, libertarians had considered modifying the controversial article on reducing the payment of leave through a regulation or a complementary law, this possibility would not have the green light from a sector of the dialogists. What does the controversial article say The amendment to Article 208 of the Labor Contract Law establishes that, in the event of an illness or accident not related to the work task, after three months it will receive 50% of the salary, without specifying what happens in cases of serious illness and 75% if it has people in charge. Bullrich said that the idea is to maintain 100% of the payment of salaries for serious illnesses, but that a “fehaciente” certificate or a medical board will be required. IP The article, which flew under the radar in the Senate, was put under the microscope after the statements of the Minister of Modernization, Federico Sturzenegger. #AgenciaNA
