Though the new enactment is really complex (v. dépêche n°110398), and gives new wording to a large number of articles, the essentials of the reform, all linked to the idea of labor flexibility, are: (1) to stimulate company-level agreements, (2) to eliminate sectoral agreements at the provincial level, (3) to speed up the process of bargaining new collective agreements, (4) to avoid the damaging effects of long-lasting impasses, and (5) to invigorate the rather weak culture of labor arbitration. All these important steps forward will succeed in making the Spanish labor market more flexible only if the main social partners (at national level) take the right decisions in the next few months. Let us see why.
