Buenos Aires, February 18 (NA) – The Chamber of Deputies was discussing this Wednesday in committee the labor reform project passed by the Senate, from which the article on changes in the payment of sick leave for work-related illness or accident will be nullified. The president of the La Libertad Avanza bloc, Gabriel Bornoroni, communicated at the start of the meeting that article 44 will be eliminated, which established that in the case of accidents or illnesses unrelated to the work environment, only 50% would be paid, and 75% if workers had a family. Bornoroni said they will move to the signing of the opinion that maintains the text voted by the Senate in the early hours of Thursday the 12th, with the exception of changes in the payment of leave in case of illness or accident. When opening the meeting, the president of the Labor Legislation Commission, Lisandro Almirón, pointed out that in the first segment and until 5 p.m., unionists, lawyers, and businessmen will speak, and then the blocs will do the same, announcing whether they will present their own draft or accompany the ruling party's text. IP The plenary session of the Labor Legislation and Budget Commissions is taking place since 2:10 p.m. to debate the labor modernization project that makes substantial changes to labor laws, union association laws, reduction of employer contributions for the hiring of new jobs, and changes in the compensation system.
