Extractive, glass and ceramics industries: amendment to regulate breastfeeding leave (Art. 33.2)

An agreement has been recorded to amend the XXIII State-wide Collective Agreement for the extractive, glass, and ceramics industries, and the exclusive trade of these materials. The main amendment affects Articles 33.2 and 38 to correct errors and regulate the right to one hour of absence for infant care in cases of birth, adoption, or foster care up to nine months (Art. 33.2).

In 3 key points

  1. Right to one hour of absence for infant care up to nine months (Art. 33.2). (art. 33.2)
  2. Option to substitute the hour with a half-hour reduction in working hours or by accumulating the time into full working days (Art. 33.2). (art. 33.2)
  3. Limitation on simultaneous exercise due to objective operational reasons, subject to providing an alternative plan (Art. 33.2). (art. 33.2)

How it affects those involved

For companies in the extraction, glass, and ceramics sectors, the regulation establishes the conditions for exercising the right to breastfeeding leave, allowing it to be split into two periods or substituted by a reduction in working hours or by accumulating the time into full working days (Art. 33.2). Companies may limit the simultaneous exercise of this right by two employees with the same qualifying event only for well-founded and objective operational reasons, provided they offer an alternative plan (Art. 33.2).
