National Senator Flavio Fama (UCR) stated that it is 'difficult' for the labor reform to be passed 'before the end of the year'. He argued that a 'minimum debate' is required due to the importance of the law and stated it will not be passed 'in any way behind closed doors'. Fama recalled that there have been 'quite embarrassing cases' in the Senate's treatment of labor laws, such as the so-called Banelco Law in 2001, and therefore believes the reform 'should have a reasonable discussion'. The Catamarca senator mentioned that the radical bloc will meet this afternoon to establish a common position on the Executive's project, but he already shared his opinion that 'we must move forward with a labor reform, we must simplify things' in labor relations. Fama expressed his doubts: 'Some flexibilities in labor matters, such as the issue of reinstatement after a disability and the reduction of salary, that is not good, and we also need to look closely at the issue of splitting vacations'.
