The National Workers’ Center (CNT) announces a large mobilization for Wednesday, November 13, to Congress, to repudiate the treatment of the Civil Career Law in the public service. They maintain that Santiago Peña‘s government seeks to eliminate historical rights such as stability, strikes and collective contracts. They add that they also fear the plan to reform the IPS charter and the reform of the Labor Code in the private sector.

With the motto “against the abusive and authoritarian National Parliament”, the CNT, a labor union that brings together unions and federations of workers throughout the country, calls for a mobilization on Wednesday, November 13, starting at 9:00.
Been: Peña wants to eliminate three fundamental labor rights, unionists warn
The objective is to closely follow and repudiate the treatment in the Senate of the project to reform and repeal the Public Service Law, No. 1626/2000.
The rally will take place in Asunción, on Piribebuy Street, almost Hernandarias, and from there the protesters will march to Parliament.
In its call, the CNT maintains that the bill threatens union and labor stability, the latter, in the public service, is obtained two years after being “appointed” while in the private sector it is obtained after 10 consecutive years with the same employer. In its numerous versions, the project proposes obtaining stability in the public service after four years and losing it even through performance “evaluations.”
They also denounce that the Executive’s project puts the right to strike at risk, since the proposal establishes that officials with essential functions, whose full scope is not defined, cannot accompany this labor demand.
The labor union adds that the right to collective bargaining contracts and 12-month contracts is also at risk, considering that the Ministry of Economy would have the power to suspend these benefits for budgetary reasons.
IPS organic load and private stability
Outside the scope of the public service, they also reject the reform of the IPS organic charter and the plan of the President of the Republic, Santiago Peña, to reform the Labor Code to annul the job stability that is obtained after 10 years, with the same employer, in the private sector.
