The senator for La Altagracia province, Rafael Bar\u00f3n Duluc Rijo, has reaffirmed his support for the Labor Code reform, highlighting that this legislative proposal is fundamental to harmonizing the Dominican legal framework with the international standards established by the International Labour Organization (ILO). According to the legislator, this project represents a balanced advancement that benefits both the working class and the employer sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It favors workers, it favors employers, it embraces standards already in the ILO’s international labor conventions, and it significantly improves the entire spectrum of labor law.<\/p>Rafael Bar\u00f3n Duluc, senator for La Altagracia<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n
Political will and vision for the future<\/h2>\n\n\n
Duluc emphasized that there is a clear political will to finalize this reform during the current legislative session. The senator pointed out that the Executive Branch has shown a direct commitment by reintroducing the initiative, which has generated a majority consensus within the Senate. For the legislator, not proceeding with this update would mean an unnecessary setback that would leave the country disconnected from the current transformations of the global labor market.<\/p>\n\n\n
Clarity on the subject of severance pay<\/h2>\n\n\n
In light of the concerns expressed by various labor unions regarding a possible impact on severance pay, Senator Duluc described these fears as unfounded. The legislator emphasized that the text previously approved in the Senate keeps this right intact and assured that there is no agenda within the legislative body aimed at modifying said regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
- The project seeks to update the Dominican labor legal framework.<\/li>\n
- International ILO conventions are integrated to improve labor law.<\/li>\n
- There is majority support among legislators for its approval.<\/li>\n

With these statements, the representative of La Altagracia seeks to bring reassurance to the productive and social sectors, reiterating that the main objective is to provide the Dominican Republic with legal tools that are more modern, fair, and adapted to current times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
