Before next Februaryis planned to validate in Congress Royal Decree-Lawon urgent measures for labor reform, the guarantee of stability in employment and the transformation of the labor market. This culminates a stage of negotiation and agreement between the Government, the employers and the unions. An agreement that must open a process of profound change in our labor market and that we hope will close a long period of special difficulty for union action in companies and sectors due to the harsh combination that has meant, on the one hand, the long and serious economic crisis that we have suffered since 2008 and on the other hand the effects of the disastrous Labor Reform of the Popular Party that achieved its objective, that of reinforcing corporate power, if not abuse. During this period, many of the light bulbs necessary to carry out union action in companies and workplaces burned out, creating a darkness that has been reflected in greater social inequality, more precarious employment, corporate abuse in the working conditions of young people and greater wage gap between managers and the rest of the workers in companies.
A darkness that has contrasted with the clarity that has been perceived both in the squares and streets, full of workers mobilized in defense of their rights, called by the unions during these years, and by the recognized prominence that and UGT have shown. when negotiating multiple agreements with employers, the central government and the regional governments. But Malta Phone Number that light, even brilliance on some occasions, of the sustained union mobilization in the streets and the successes of the Social Dialogue and Concertation agreements, should not lead us to forget that for many of the problems of the working class, particularly related to the position and working conditions (salary, professional future, training, security, participation, etc.), it is essential to seek a solution through union action and collective bargaining, and this is only possible in and from the centers of work no matter how much darkness we still perceive in many of them. Because the solutions are there, where no one but unionism, the organized force of the workers, can propose and conquer them. And this even, or rather more so, if there is little light. Unionism will not find its full function if it is not capable of correcting the deficit that many companies still suffer.
Trade unionism will not find its full function if it is not capable of correcting the deficit that many companies still suffer, if it does not make a leap forward in membership, especially of younger workers, an area in which there is much left to do. to move forward, as expressed by the very low levels of membership of this group. Now more than ever, it is necessary to truly strengthen collective bargaining and build a new framework of demands to address the new heterogeneity of interests that exists in companies based on the basic unity of interests of the working class. It is the opportunity to face the pending and necessary reform of the current structure of collective bargaining, overcoming the atomization expressed by thousands of collective agreements that are out of date with reality, useless to face the reality that is experienced today in too many companies. A new collective negotiation is necessary to urgently transform and overcome this situation if we aspire to change the productive model of this country.
