Once this deadline is over, the Labor Secretariat will analyze the suggestions, which will be reviewed by the Labor Secretariat, the body responsible for preparing the text proposal to be submitted to a tripartite group, formed by representatives from the government, workers, and employers, for discussion and approval.
The final stage will be the submission, by the Tripartite group, of the final text to be discussed and approved within the framework of the Permanent Tripartite Parity Commission – CTPP.
