LOTTT: 12 years of the legal instrument that revolutionized the rights of workers

On April 30, 2012, Commander Hugo Chávez signed the
Organic Law on Labor, Workers and Women Workers (LOTTT), a historic
act that vindicates men and women in the labor field.
“I am going to proceed to sign the new Organic Law on Labor,
Workers (LOTTT), and I leave it to the
people, the workers and workers to comply with it as one of those inexorable
laws”, these were some of the words of the
Eternal Leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, Commander Hugo Chávez, before signing this legal instrument that came to benefit millions
of workers in Venezuela.
“I am absolutely sure that just as there has never been a Constitution before in
200 years of history that has ever
been debated with such depth and breadth as this
Bolivarian Constitution, I am also absolutely sure that there has never been a
Labor Law or whatever you call it, that has been discussed, debated as the new Organic Labor Law has
been discussed and debated, for this reason I congratulate them and thank them
very much, I thank you very
much infinitely,” he said.
This legal instrument contemplates the vindication of
the rights of domestic workers, such as seniority in the payment of
social benefits, leave of 6 weeks before and 20 weeks after
giving birth, for working women. In addition, it recovers the double payment, in the event
of dismissals, among other claims.
