Díaz signs the Scholarship Statute with the unions: "Spain has had governments that have not done their homework"

MADRID, 15 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The second vice president and Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz, and the secretaries of CC.OO. and UGT, Unai Sordo and Pepe Álvarez, respectively, have signed this Thursday the agreement on the Statute of people in non-labor practical training in companies, which does not have the support of the CEOE.

"The reality is that our country for more than 40 years has had 'ninis' governments, which did not provide alternatives or solutions for the young people of our country," Díaz said after signing the agreement.

The proposal for the Statute of people in practical non-labor training in the field of the company, colloquially known as the Scholarship Statute, to which Europa Press has had access, includes a sanctioning regime for companies for failing to comply with the rights of students, with fines of up to 225,000 euros; a compensation of the expenses that the students have; and limits extracurricular practices to 480 hours.

The objective of this standard is to determine the periods of practical non-work training that can be carried out in the company, as well as to develop the legal regime that orders them.
