The business associations that represent the employer sector in the National Council for Labor and Employment Promotion (CNTPE) announced that they are suspending their participation in this tripartite dialogue space until the decrees referring to labor outsourcing (DS 001-2022-TR) and collective bargaining (DS 014-2022-TR) are repealed, and the request for the International Labor Organization (ILO) regarding the international commitments ratified by the Peruvian Government.
The letter addressed to the head of the MTPE, Juan Ramón Lira Loayza, is signed by Confiep, the Association of Exporters (Adex), ComexPerú, the National Society of Industries (SNI), the Lima Chamber of Commerce (CCL), the SNMPE , Capeco, Asbanc and the National Fisheries Society.
The unions emphasize their strong disagreement with the recent enactment of the regulatory norm on collective bargaining that facilitates strikes and strengthens unionized workers.
“The publication of this decree causes us deep concern because it directly disregards the commitment of the MTPE, according to which it would not unilaterally make regulatory changes related to the issues included in the Draft Labor Code, since it was still pending. The determination of the process and methodology by which the normative proposal would be submitted to the socio-labour dialogue within the CNTPE is pending consensus, ”says the letter.
In this sense, they denounce that the questioned decree was approved under comment, subtracting elements from the aforementioned draft, such as that corresponding to collective relations, violating and weakening the institutionality of the CNTPE.
“We are concerned that the MTPE continues a practice that violates the institutionality of the quintessential tripartite socio-labor dialogue body, of which we cannot be a part,” the letter adds.
