A legislative proposal allowing parents a day off on the first day of school was debated in the Chamber of Deputies, facing rejection from committees. AUR opposes the initiative, citing employer costs and potential discrimination. The bill aims to grant a day off to parents of preschool, primary, and gymnasium students to attend school opening ceremonies without using vacation days. The proposal was introduced by PSD senator Claudiu-Daniel Catană and has low chances of adoption due to committee recommendations and AUR's opposition. Arguments against the bill include difficulties for employers and unequal treatment of employees without children.
