The so-called new social model, which trade unions are mobilising against (as reported in last month’s newsletter), would significantly reduce workers’ legal protection. The proposed Labour Code, amongst others, would lower wages by no longer paying overtime, while simultaneously requiring employees to work mandatory overtime. The law raises the maximum weekly working hours to 60 hours per week and makes it easier as well as cheaper for employers to fire workers. The new social model includes 7 main and 27 accompanying laws that are being debated in Parliament and will be tabled in the plenary session on 24 November 2015 for adoption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fen.delfi.lt\u002Flithuania\u002Fpolitics\u002Flabour-code-reform-package-presented-at-lithuanian-parliament.d?id=69291844\">http:\u002F\u002Fen.delfi.lt\u002Flithuania\u002Fpolitics\u002Flabour-code-reform-package...\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
