The President of the Republic, Pedro Castillo, He pointed out that in recent years there has been a demonization of union leaders who fight for workers’ rights and that “terruqueo” has already reached its ceiling.

The head of the Labor sector, Betssy Chávez, representatives of the workers, congressmen from Peru Libre and Juntos por el Perú, among other authorities, participated in the ceremony.

“The State has many debts with the workers, historical debts with the working class. In that understanding, I invoke Minister (Betssy) Chávez with the purpose that we sit down to talk permanently and once and for all sustain ourselves before the Congress of the Republic so that, once and for all, she is at the side of the workers, of the country, of the workers. During the last years there has been a demonization of the union leaders, there has always been, saying that it is extremist, the term of ‘terruqueo’ has already reached its ceiling. They start saying things, and if they don’t have anything, they believe it so that they don’t participate in the dialogue tables, but the leaders do not detach ourselves from the base ”, he asserted.

Along these lines, he pointed out that it is necessary to make labor rights considered “sacred acts” so that bodies such as the Constitutional Court do not declare the measures taken in favor of workers illegal.

“In this understanding, it is important that collective bargaining is permanent. There are constitutional rights that have passed to the Constitutional Court and have been declared unconstitutional, it is necessary to order ourselves and see in what way the rights can be taken as a sacred act and cannot be declared unconstitutional “, added.

In November of this year, the TC declared by majority the unconstitutionality of Law No. 31131, which provided for the incorporation of workers with Administrative Services Contract (CAS) to labor regimes 276 and 728.

The main argument of the ruling is that Congress has no spending initiative, and the transfer of CAS workers to regimes 276 and 728 implies the provision of economic resources.
