The prime minister said Thursday labor legislation is the last sector the Government still has to reform and current legislation is obsolete.

Boc is meeting again with unions Friday for talks on the Labor Code.

The latest draft of the code, obtained and presented Thursday by MEDIAFAX, eliminates all mentions of the single national collective labor contract and sets the probationary employment period at no longer than 90 calendar days, for both regular and management positions.

The labor unions oppose eliminating collective work contracts from the Code, arguing that terms such as working hours, conditions and minimum wage shall be abolished and workers might end up being paid less than they are worth.

Unions said they would decide Monday on protests over the Labor Code.
