Colombia's Petro signs decree to hold labor reform referendum
BOGOTA, June 11 (Reuters) - Colombia's leftist President Gustavo Petro on Wednesday signed a decree to hold a public referendum vote on a labor reform. The referendum proposal seeks to limit the working day, increase the surcharge for Sunday and holiday work from 75% to 100% and require social security payments for delivery app drivers. "If the law comes out just as the Senate says, with no imposition, then there would be a repeal of the decree," Interior Minister Armando Benedetti told reporters.
