The article contains a historical and analytical overview of the previous Spanish labour reforms, as well as the current difficulties in the implementation of new changes, proposed by the government led by Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. According to declarations of administration, the reform aims to alleviate the plight of workers, becoming more serious because of the corona crisis, and to have in Spain by the beginning of 2022 the labour law that helps to ensure the growth of quality job while national economy recovers from the pandemic. But, as it happens often in Spain when the initiatives proposed by the functioning government, should it be led by PSOE or PP, the normal projects are criticized actively by the opposition, leading unions and business associations. And reaching the political agreement for the final approval of a new norm – be it labour law or pension reform – is a serious political problem. Parliament discussions and adoption of a new labor legislation during the 2021 year was no exception.
