Precisely the social dialogue work on these 4 central axes: childhood protection, care system, protection of active people and retirement and pension regime. “It does in two stages” said. “This stage that we are traveling from July to November that is compilation of supplies and participation and then there will be a stage where the Executive Commission formed by the parties that accepted the Government’s invitation, in addition to the most representative social sectors where the PIT CNT, Onajpu, the Pro Care Network, the Childhood Platform and Organizations of the Disability” detailed.
Piñeiro said that this social, political and governmental field will reach the agreements that culminate in a document that will be delivered to the President of the Republic to process those reforms.

These seminars are in Montevideo, but they are transmitted for the whole country. The second modality is the conversations, totally open meetings like the one we had last night in Mel Organization that has proposals and contributions. ocial dialogues.uy where people can continue contributing on the issues that we start working this Wednesday in Cerro Largo ” explained in an interview with The daily professional.
