According to local media reports, legislators will meet with Rodolfo Saldén, the leader in the drafting of the text, whose current version has the single union central, the PIT-CNT, as a slanderer.
Among the government coalitions, the Cabildo Aberto (CA) party claims to have the greatest potential for amendment of the current proposal.
CA’s representative in the Special Commission to Propose Reform, Senator Raúl Lozano, declared that the executive had not taken into account some of the proposed changes.
Lozano announced that his organization maintains its positions on various issues and will push for them, even if it changes the government’s plan to obtain final approval of the new law.
“We’re in no rush,” Lozano assured his aides.
