The Minister of Labor and Social Security Pablo Mieres gave a conference on the occasion of the Domestic Workers Day accompanied by other MTSS authorities. The hierarch made announcements regarding access to unemployment insurance by the workers. We do not want to miss this occasion without making a particularly committed reference from the Ministry of Labor to domestic workers who today celebrate their day and are a particularly vulnerable sector Minister Mieres began by saying.The hierarch made the conference accompanied by the National Director of Labor Federico Daverede the National Director of Social Security Daniel Garca Zeballos and the General Director of the MTSS Valentina Arlegui.The Minister announced that the MTSS issued a resolution that allows multi-job workers to have access to total unemployment insurance even if only one of their employers sends them. In these cases the workers will receive 50 of what they received for that job without affecting the income from the remaining jobs.In the usual regime those who were in this situation and were sent to unemployment insurance only for one of their jobs could not access insurance as such explained Mieres adding that the measure includes those who are sent to unemployment insurance between August 1 and October 31 2020.According to the chief there are about 11000 workers who are in a situation of multiple employment and the resolution arises from the proposals made by the sector.Regarding the pandemic situation the Minister recalled that from the Catera there was concern about taking some measures related to the domestic sector.Among them he mentioned the fact of informing the employers that if they did not summon the workers to their jobs during the health emergency they should continue to pay those wages according to what was stipulated.Likewise the General Inspectorate of Labor and Social Security IGTSS summoned the social actors of group 21 to draw up an action protocol and standards related to safety and health were established.Finally the hierarch announced that of the 50000 people who have undergone unemployment insurance 90 have been reinstated to their jobs.This does not mean to stop recognizing that we have a significant problem with employment but the trend of activation that we see since late May or early June goes in a direction of reinstatement of workers that makes us happy he stressed.
