The labor law, which is currently being processed, recognizes the members of the LGBTQ collective as vulnerable in the labor market, therefore special attention is guaranteed to people belonging to the group in the event that they certify their sexual orientation and identity with an oath - the Magyar Nemzet reviews the 20minutos.es article .
The Spanish Ministry of Labor confirmed the information, but added that the oath is not made mandatory for anyone, it can be taken freely and voluntarily by those involved. The new law on workplaces was approved in June this year and is currently being processed by Congress.
Labor Minister and Vice President Yolanda Díaz said their goal is a complete redesign of employment policy, which is essential for Spain's companies and the country's future. According to the new law, special attention will be paid in public employment not only to members of the LGBTQ community, but also to immigrants, recipients of international protection, victims of sexual violence, and people living in social exclusion.
According to the government, trans people face the greatest discrimination in the labor market, which is why they are trying to support their employment with several programs.
