1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,799 be the politics and the history wait one more time again again it's okay we're gonna talk about 2 00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:12,560 the introduction that will be the politics and the history and yeah the irish state of ireland 3 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:18,800 that is how they call a iran in irish gaining independence of the united kingdom in 1922 4 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:25,760 and when they signed the i'm anglo-irish treaty a while instead another part of 5 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,239 of Ireland remained part of the United Kingdom. 6 00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:33,240 Then in 1931, they achieved the full legislative independence 7 00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:38,159 and in 1937, they adopted a new constitution 8 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,100 on the name of Ireland. 9 00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:43,880 In 1949, they adopted a republic. 10 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,399 The republic is composed and characterized 11 00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:50,399 by the parliamentary system of government. 12 00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:53,840 The president of Ireland, who served as head of state, 13 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,659 is the one that is duly elected by universal suffrage, 14 00:00:57,659 --> 00:00:58,780 the system of vote. 15 00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:03,200 His term of office is seven year, 16 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,980 and he's eligible for re-election just once. 17 00:01:06,980 --> 00:01:07,819 Then, 18 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,400 Yes, yes, I'm gonna try. 19 00:01:15,459 --> 00:01:17,219 Okay, so the hierarchy, 20 00:01:17,219 --> 00:01:19,599 there is constitution that came into form 21 00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:22,219 the 29th of December of 1937, 22 00:01:22,219 --> 00:01:25,739 is the basis or fundamental law of a state. 23 00:01:25,739 --> 00:01:28,239 It establishes the institution of the system 24 00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:31,879 and provides the two-party separation of powers, 25 00:01:31,879 --> 00:01:35,239 legislative, executive, and judicial, as in Spain. 26 00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:37,120 The legislation is made up of acts 27 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,319 that are adopted by the parliament 28 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,819 and is composed by the president of the state, 29 00:01:42,819 --> 00:01:44,719 the upper house, and the lower house. 30 00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:46,420 Then, this is how you see the hierarchy 31 00:01:46,420 --> 00:01:48,299 that will be the European Union, 32 00:01:48,299 --> 00:01:57,180 Then the Irish Constitution, the primary laws, the secondary laws, the common law, and then the public general acts and the private acts. 33 00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:04,799 The difference between them is the public general acts are laws passed by referendums, are of general application, 34 00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:11,300 and then the private acts are for an individual or a group of individuals. 35 00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:22,599 Okay, now I'm going to talk about the similarities and differences between the legislative law 36 00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:29,900 in Spain and Ireland, I will start with the similarities. 37 00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:40,020 Both countries are influenced by the European Union directives and regulations, so the labour 38 00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:50,120 Our laws have the same anti-discrimination and safety standards that have to be in common 39 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,900 with the European Union countries. 40 00:02:53,900 --> 00:03:03,620 Then about the workers' rights, both have protections against abuses in work, both countries 41 00:03:03,620 --> 00:03:08,539 have annual maternity and paternity leave. 42 00:03:08,539 --> 00:03:16,300 about collective barraging and they both are allowed to negotiate wage and working conditions 43 00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:25,180 and the minimum wage they have to have a minimum wage in each country in spain for example 44 00:03:25,979 --> 00:03:34,060 the last one was fifteen thousand eighty eight hundred seventy six euros a year a year 45 00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:44,060 In Ireland it is a little bit higher, so it's 2,146 euros. 46 00:03:44,060 --> 00:03:58,060 And now talking about the differences, in dismissal procedures, in Ireland the dismissal must be justified 47 00:03:58,060 --> 00:04:05,060 and they have a little bit lower severance payments than in Spain. 48 00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:12,060 Then in Spain the justification should be more rigid. 49 00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:18,060 They have higher severance pays. 50 00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:26,060 In Spain it is more common to be involved in a residential dispute 51 00:04:26,060 --> 00:04:35,060 because we have a stronger loss, so it's not that easy that you can get dismissal. 52 00:04:35,060 --> 00:04:42,060 Then about the contract types, in Ireland there is more flexibility about the contracts. 53 00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:48,060 You can have a part-time contract or you can have a zero-hour contract. 54 00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:54,060 So it's more easy, it's easier for the employer to make different types of contracts. 55 00:04:54,060 --> 00:05:18,060 But in Spain, with the recent change of the labour law, we have reduced the temporary contract 56 00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:28,060 We have more stable employment relationships and now we have the prevalence of the permanent work. 57 00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:34,060 Then about the working hours, the standard working week in Ireland is 39 hours. 58 00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:45,060 The overtime in Ireland is not mandatory and the collective agreement has established overtime rates. 59 00:05:45,060 --> 00:06:02,060 Then in Spain the standard working week is 40 hours, the overtime is paid also and is regulated and have stricter limits on the time you can overwork. 60 00:06:02,060 --> 00:06:22,899 Then with the trade union influence, in Ireland it is not that common to affiliate to a trade union. In Ireland it is more common that you directly negotiate your wage or your conditions with your employer. 61 00:06:22,899 --> 00:06:30,899 In Spain we have a stronger tradition with trade unions, here they are more important. 62 00:06:30,899 --> 00:06:45,899 The negotiations and agreements apply to all workers and not only to the workers that are members of the trade union. 63 00:06:45,899 --> 00:07:11,740 Then about social security, in Ireland the social security provides benefits as unemployment, maternity leave and pensions, but these benefits are generally less generous than in Spain, and then in Spain the social security system is more comprehensive and we have a wider range of benefits. 64 00:07:15,899 --> 00:07:33,379 I will talk about health, about more things about social security. In healthcare, for example, in Spain it's universal and free. You have included and covered your medical services. 65 00:07:33,379 --> 00:07:43,379 In Ireland it is a mixed system, it is not fully free, they provide a lot of services but you have to apply for a medical card. 66 00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:49,379 It is not that easy like in Spain where you have all your medical things covered. 67 00:07:49,379 --> 00:08:01,379 About the unemployment benefits, in Spain it is more generous, you can have your unemployment for 2 years. 68 00:08:01,379 --> 00:08:08,379 In Ireland it's shorter, it's up to 9 months, but you have your sick benefits. 69 00:08:08,379 --> 00:08:27,379 Then about the sick leave, in Spain it can last up to 18 months, scoring the 75% of the salary after the 4th day. 70 00:08:27,379 --> 00:08:35,379 In Ireland it is limited to 2 years and generally there are lower payouts for the city. 71 00:08:35,379 --> 00:08:44,379 Our pensions in Spain are higher and are tied to the final salary of the person. 72 00:08:44,379 --> 00:08:50,379 We have a more generous public pension system. 73 00:08:50,379 --> 00:08:59,379 In Ireland, the pensions are lower and are based on contributions and not linked to the final pay. 74 00:08:59,379 --> 00:09:07,379 About parental leave, in Spain we have 16 weeks paid for both the mother and the father. 75 00:09:07,379 --> 00:09:15,379 In Ireland, they have 26 weeks for the mother but only 2 weeks for the father. 76 00:09:15,379 --> 00:09:29,960 So I'm going to talk about some curiosities that will be about the division of Ireland and St. Patrick's Day. 77 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:38,960 About the division of Ireland, Ireland was house of a lot of conquerors, Vikings, Thales and Anglo-Saxons from 1541. 78 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:51,960 They were down the rule of the British Crown and that was finished, as I talked before, with the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty. 79 00:09:51,960 --> 00:10:01,960 Ireland people see how their land was being conquisted and given to protestant people. 80 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:10,960 So they split between the south part of Ireland that was catholic and the north part of Ireland that was protestant. 81 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:20,960 So a nationalist movement grew up and the Irish people started to be independent in that year. 82 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:29,960 and then the northern part of Ireland remained part of the United Kingdom and was a land for protestant people. 83 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:36,960 Then about St Patrick, he was originally from Scotland, he was born in the 4th century, 84 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:46,960 and he was a Christian priest that remained his Catholic work through all of Ireland. 85 00:10:46,960 --> 00:11:01,960 about the three-leaf clover that was displayed in the Holy Trinity, and its original colour was blue and not green, and that's it. 86 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:28,179 Okay, now for concluding this presentation. While both in Ireland and Spain provide robust protections for workers under their regular systems, Spain tends to be more protective with their rights, especially in terms of dismissal and job security. 87 00:11:28,179 --> 00:11:40,179 In the other hand, it offers more flexibility in terms of contracts and dismissal, but both of them align with the European labor standards. 88 00:11:40,179 --> 00:11:42,179 And that's it. 89 00:11:42,179 --> 00:11:44,179 Okay, thank you very much.
