La patronal CEOE organizó este martes en Madrid una jornada sobre el aumento de las bajas por enfermedad. Los participantes pidieron que las mutuas puedan dar altas médicas y que la Seguridad Social asuma más costes.

Antonio Garamendi, presidente de CEOE, pidió que la Seguridad Social pague las prestaciones y cotizaciones de los primeros 15 días de baja por enfermedad común. También reclamó más médicos, más controles y que las mutuas puedan dar altas en estos casos.

Varias organizaciones territoriales, como CEIM y ASPEL, solicitaron recuperar el despido por absentismo, eliminado en 2020. Otras propusieron reducir complementos salariales pactados en convenios y exonerar cotizaciones por sustituciones.

Ángel Nicolás, presidente de CEOE en Castilla-La Mancha, llamó "memos" a jóvenes que piden bajas por salud mental. Garamendi se distanció de estas palabras y reconoció la existencia real de problemas de salud mental entre los jóvenes.
