Official title: Private member's bill to amend Royal Legislative Decree 2/2015, of October 23, approving the consolidated text of the Workers' Statute, Royal Legislative Decree 8/2015, of October 30, approving the consolidated text of the General Social Security Law, and Law 27/1999, of July 16, on Cooperatives, to reverse the precarious situation of workers who, from their formal link with Associated Work Cooperatives, provide services in meat industry companies and poultry and rabbit slaughterhouses.

Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would bring members of worker cooperatives who provide services to other companies within the scope of the Workers' Statute and would apply to them the same collective agreement as the company where they work.
  2. It would also require these worker members to be enrolled as salaried employees in the General Regime of Social Security, without the option of choosing the self-employed regime.
  3. The Cooperatives Law would be amended to make clear that these work relationships fall under the Workers' Statute and other labor rules, although the cooperative's own bylaws and principles would be respected as long as they do not conflict with them.
  4. The new rules would only apply to relationships between cooperatives and companies created after the law takes effect, and the Social Security change would also start on that date.

Who it affects

  • Worker members of associated labor cooperatives working in meat industry companies and poultry and rabbit slaughterhouses.: They would get full labor rights, the company's collective agreement, and coverage under the General Regime of Social Security.
  • Meat industry companies and poultry and rabbit slaughterhouses that use cooperative workers.: They could no longer cut labor costs by hiring through cooperatives and would have to apply the collective agreement and contribute to the General Regime.
  • The associated labor cooperatives in the sector themselves.: Their bylaws and agreements could not contradict labor rules.
