On October 19th, the Chamber of Deputies approved Act 1441 Quater (former 1167-B) which, among other provisions, reforms labor disputes. On March 31st, the President of the Republic sent the law approved by the Parliament on March 3rd back because of several technicalities, notably on the article amending the provisions of the code of civil procedure in terms of conciliation and arbitration in labor disputes. The President asked for “more appropriate mechanisms” to guarantee the actual will of the signatories of the compromising clause, and to protect workers, who are the “weak link” at the beginning of the industrial relation. As a whole, the law remains unchanged (see our dispatch No. 100203 and 100281 for the details), except five articles; here are the key elements.

The reform of the labor dispute. The reform aimed to encourage appeal to arbitration, notably by allowing employees and employers to provide, in the labor contract, appeal to arbitration, not to courts, in case of a conflict, but only if it’s provided for in the inter-confederal agreements or the CCN.
