Santiago. Juan Moreno, President of the Lider Inter-company Union expressed strong disapproval against the legislator’s delay in voting the bill that will regulate the concept of enterprise to prevent the present legal gaps. “When our union made the presentation before the commission, all the legislators agreed with us on the implications of the Lider case. We all know that it is a company, paying their suppliers like a company, with a unique corporative image, listed on the stock exchange like a company…and what’s more, it was sold to Wal Mart as a company…However, for the workers, Lider is a group of 150 different companies. This hinders our struggle to improve the worker’s conditions”, stated Moreno. The legislators have a responsibility towards those who elect them, but they are absent from their work without presenting any justifiable cause, only to postpone the voting of a project that benefits workers. This shows a complete lack of respect and they must give an explanation to the country”, concluded the union leader. According to press information, the initiative should have been voted on August 18th, Wednesday. However, at the moment of the session, in the Senate’s labour Commission, only two senators were present, and as a result of this, the voting could not be carried out.
