The Seventh Commission of the House of Representatives of the Colombian Congress, on Tuesday, June 20, shelved the labor reform bill put forth by the country’s first leftist government led by President Gustavo Petro and Vice president Francia Márquez. The labor reform bill, which had been presented by Representative Maria Fernanda Carrascal of the Historic Pact coalition, sought to expand workers’ rights and improve working conditions. During the majority of sessions, the members of conservative parties had deliberately ended or left the sessions abruptly to avoid starting debate on the labor reform. Last week, after months, the report on the reform was finally approved by the commission. The labor reform is one of the key initiatives of the Petro government to seek social changes in the country alongside healthcare and pension reforms.
