"Mr President, the European social model that we are so proud of is not only based on our pensions, education and health systems, but also on the way in which we view the balance between business owners and workers in companies. The employment reform that has been approved by the Government of Spain, without dialogue and without consensus, breaks with that social model and distances us from the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, both in terms of creating jobs and in terms of the quality of these jobs. A labour reform alone does not create employment; it is economic growth that does so. What a labour law does do is define the conditions under which workers join companies, the conditions under which they remain in them and the conditions under which they leave them. With this reform, thanks to which 80% of workers will be unprotected as they will not be covered by collective agreements, companies will be able to dismiss workers if their revenue falls, or unilaterally change their working hours. What is clear is that workers will be entering the labour market with greater insecurity, will remain in it with more fear, and will leave it with less compensation. That is why this reform, which attacks the European social model and which seeks to improve the competitiveness of the Spanish economy solely on the basis of workers’ conditions, deserves to be met by a general strike such as the one called for tomorrow in Spain in order to defend this social model."@en1
