A political dispute has erupted in Costa Rica over proposed changes to working hours, specifically the 4-3 work week. The Pueblo Soberano (PPSO) and National Liberation Party (PLN) are accusing each other of betraying prior agreements regarding labor rights. Liberation alleges that the governing parties are undermining workers’ rights through recent actions. Conversely, PPSO claims the PLN already compromised on the accord with motions they previously approved. The disagreement centers on the processing of bills related to the 4-3 work schedule, with each party attempting to deflect blame for any potential setbacks. This escalating conflict threatens the future of the labor reform and highlights deep divisions within the Costa Rican political landscape. The accusations suggest a breakdown in negotiation and a lack of consensus on crucial labor policies.
