Sectorial employers positively value this first package of urgent economic and labor measures.
The employers of vehicle and component manufacturers, ANFAC and SERNAUTO, and that of dealers, FACONAUTO, positively value this first package of urgent economic and labor measures approved by the Government. These are considered to be oriented towards the need to safeguard employment and the productive and business fabric. At the same time, the effects of the coronavirus continue to be controlled.
The sectoral employers consider that the approved measures, in the absence of seeing how they are implemented, may contribute to mitigating the strong impact of this crisis on the automotive sector. Thanks, for example, to mechanisms such as the streamlining of temporary employment regulation files (ERTEs), especially those defined by force majeure. Or also thanks to measures such as the suspension of contributions or credit measures with public guarantees.
In previous crises, these measures of labor flexibility have been key to the recovery of the sector. Among other things, they guarantee employment in the medium term. At the same time, the three organizations are aware that the gravity of the situation will force new economic and social measures in the short term.
A new package of measures for the sector
For the aforementioned new new package, employers make themselves available to the Government and unions to work on those precise and necessary measures for the sector. The goal is for them to have a positive impact and as soon as possible in the battle against the pandemic and in protecting society. But they also serve for the maintenance of jobs and business activity.
Finally, and given the special situation facing the automotive sector, employers offer their collaboration to develop new plans of measures that promote the entire value chain. Also, that they urgently allow us to prepare and undertake the path to recovery as soon as possible.
