Yolanda Díaz announces that a campaign will start next week to combat possible fraud in these types of contracts for an indefinite period of time
The current ‘boom’ of discontinuous permanent contracts will be scrutinized from next week by the Labor Inspectorate, which will ensure that its use, which has multiplied by 13 after the implementation of the counter-labour reform, is at the expense of temporary employment is correct and does not commit any form of fraud. This was announced on Wednesday by the second vice president and labor minister, Yolanda Díaz, during the congressional monitoring session.
It was the vice president’s counterattack to the PP’s accusation in the Chamber of making up for temporariness with a name change. “Neither has it ended with temporality, nor with uncertainty, it has aggravated them. The formula of his counter-reform of labor consists in a change of name. If we changed your name, would you be a better minister? No, it would be the same minister, a magician with the employment data, because by September or October at the latest, when the broken landlines go home, they will be out of work and you will not be counted in the statistics. Is this magic or a scam?”, accused the popular deputy Carmen Navarro.
Díaz defended himself by assuring that it is an open-ended contract, which “enjoys full rights, with all the protections of the ordinary contract, identical protection against dismissal and with accrual of seniority.” Likewise, he challenged him to find a verdict that says it is temporary among the 2,796 Supreme Court resolutions issued on the matter.
The minister also recalled that companies that violate the rules and commit labor fraud are now fined up to EUR 10,000 per employee in an irregular situation, a measure introduced in the labor reform.
Ministry sources explained to this newspaper that the Inspectorate campaign, which will start next week, will consist of sending letters to companies, in the style of the one carried out to legalize the situation of domestic workers. For their part, they pointed out that it will be carried out because of a “vigilance” just as they did in the ERTE pandemic, not because some kind of fraud has been discovered.
The labor reform has tripled the number of permanent contracts in these months, to the point that it accounted for almost half of new contracts in April.
