Trade union center, through its “federated deputies”, attempted to approved and to dispatch the Labor Code bill, participating from inside of Congressional Social Legislation Permanent Committee. However, the opposition and no concurrency of oligarchic deputies within the Commission, blocked the bill discussion. The result was the interruption of legislative debate and resign of federated deputies of the parliamentary body.
