“Government solitary in its labour reform”, announces ABC one day after the labour reform was passed in the Chamber of Deputies, thanks to the abstention of the opposition. Amongst the most heavily criticised reforms are the reduction in redundancy pay and the simplification of contracts, purportedly to promote employment, but which may make it easier to sack employees. The conservative daily considers that Prime minister José Luis Zapatero has introduced “an insufficient reform (...) clouded in incertainty" without "social or political support" and "presented in a hurry as a requirement of the European Union".
