- A legislator from the PUSC party joined the PPSO in a motion to revert labor jornada (workday) regulations to their original form.
- The motion aims to return to the previous system, potentially impacting work schedules.
- The legislator explained her vote by citing economic concerns, particularly in free trade zones.
Legislator Abril Gordienko, representing the PUSC party, has aligned with the officialist PPSO party on a motion that seeks to revert labor jornada regulations to their original structure. This decision means the proposed changes to work schedules, specifically the 4-3 jornada (four days on, three days off), will likely be rolled back.
Gordienko explained her vote by highlighting concerns about the current economic climate, particularly the challenges faced by free trade zones. She suggested that the 12-hour workday, as potentially reinstated by the original jornada format, could serve as an "interesting" incentive for businesses operating in these zones.
The move signifies a shift in the legislative debate surrounding work schedules, with Gordienko's support providing crucial backing for the motion to revert the regulations. Her explanation centers on the idea that flexible or extended work hours might stimulate economic activity and address the reported "decline" in free trade zones.
