Grant-holder charter “Estatuto del becario” What has improved? • Public Health insurance • A very basal contribution to the social security system Why is it not acceptable? • NO unemployment benefits (ESRs are NOT considered as workers) • This law will only affect those ESRs in possession of a DEA or doctor degree • Only if the grant funding entity voluntarily agrees to follow this prescription many grants are not included FJI has appealed against this law to the Supreme Court
