A draft labour reform package due to be approved by Spain's government on Wednesday will help generate jobs and boost confidence in a struggling economy, Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said today. The government presented unions and business leaders with the package on Friday after failing to reach a consensus on reform in long-running three-way talks, Reuters reported. "It will ease job creation, employment stability and will generate confidence in the Spanish economy over the medium term," Zapatero told reporters at a news conference. The proposal drawn up by the government maintains workers' rights while giving employers flexibility to adapt to difficult circumstances, he said.
