He indicated that the private sector has no interest in affect workers, but to encourage formal employment and businesses be more competitive.

Put an example that lawyers have bought cases of workers and leave time for u000acollect the days left to pay for each day that leaves to attend the hearings, "i.e., that there are corrections that have to do and that don't necessarily have to affect the worker".

He said that they expect to engage in dialogue with trade unions and the Government, in the industrial, Congress where the development strategy will be industrial.

Stressed that these problems affect competitiveness, investment and business climate, remember the cases which has gone through the tourism sector. Brache claimed that on item there is much confusion.

Recalled that there have been many foreclosures and should maintain and extend the 4.4 million annual tourists who arrive. He advocated a prudent time to negotiate, because it's a change of form, not of background.
