A bill amending the current labour law has reached the Chamber of Deputies, which will analyse it, after the Senate voted in favour of it. The amendment was introduced by the local unions, which gathered more than 130,000 signatures on the issue. According to the bill, employees that have been selected through competition will not have to go through a probation period anymore. Individual performance goals and evaluation criteria can be set only through collective bargaining. The proposal also removes the lack of performance from collective layoffs.
