Overview
- The 197-article proposal, sent on December 11, 2025, is now the focus of a polarized debate among unions, employers, and legal experts.
- Key measures include excluding platform workers and freight contractors from labor law, revising presumptions of employment, and repealing the Telework statute.
- The plan creates a Labor Assistance Fund funded by a 3% payroll contribution, which critics call a new fixed cost that fails to lower the true cost of formal hiring.
- Provisions would restrict strike actions in designated “transcendental” activities, curtail retention of union dues, and subject unions to sanctions for abusive conduct.
- Supporters say the draft would simplify hiring, increase legal predictability, and promote training and reconversion, while detractors argue it will not reduce informality, labor costs, or litigation.
