The Peruvian Association of Port Operators (Asppor) supported the congressmen in their intention to eliminate Supreme Decree 001-2022-TR on outsourcing, since if it survives in the labor legislation, the situation of the independent will be bankrupt and the economic situation of thousands of workers will also worsen. companies of all sizes.
“This rule is insisted on for reasons of theatricalization of politics and discourse, but nothing linked to reality. Nobody who is economically and politically responsible can want people to lose their income and bring poverty to their homes”pointed out Favio León, president of Asppor.
In this sense, he said that the congressmen, who will see this issue in point 22 of the Plenary’s agenda, should not abdicate in the defense of the independence of powers, the rule of law and help to alleviate the economic crisis.
Rather, “the Legislature must help build a free and strong economy for the small, medium and large, because as engines of production and as taxpayers we are all one force. Members of Congress should not be afraid to exercise their legislative function,” he said.
It is worth mentioning that as of August 22, restrictions on labor outsourcing began, a figure that allows companies to hire other companies that offer services that complement their economic activity, after completing the 180-day period of adaptation to the standard. .
What is outsourcing?
Outsourcing consists of hiring a specialized company to carry out certain activities and works entrusted by the contracting party, for which it will move its personnel to the places that both agree, and may even not do so, carrying out work in a manner.
This measure established by the Ministry of Labor has been controversial due to the rejection of various business associations, as they indicate that this was not previously discussed in the national labor council.
The main change in the service outsourcing regime is that a company cannot hire a third party to carry out activities that are part of the core of its business.
the consequences that this brings is that the companies stop contracting that service outsourcing company and that the service outsourcing companies look for what to do with their workers and in some cases extinguish the relationship with them because they are no longer going to have the contracts They had.
