Abstract

After the announcement of the agreement for the labor reform, the BOE publishes the new labor reform of 2022, an articulated text that aims to reduce precariousness and temporary employment and that has definitively entered into force within our legal system on February 4 of 2022. It involves a series of modifications that have a great impact in different areas of the labor market, such as changes in contractual modalities, new flexibility mechanisms and retaking the ultra-activity of collective agreements. Therefore, there are some aspects that deserve to be the object of reflection and synthesis of the well-known RDL 32/2021, of December 28, of urgent measures for labor reform, the guarantee of employment stability and the transformation of the labor market. The following document is, therefore, an approximation to the most notable aspects in terms of change in this long-awaited and debated Labor Reform, highlighting the new contractual modalities (determined duration, discontinuous fixed, indefinite contract attached to work, training), the nature of collective bargaining, ERTEs and the Red Mechanism, as well as some brief personal notes by way of conclusion.
