The union protests the poor state of the buses at the San Pedro de Colalao and Villa Gloria companies. The businessman’s response.
The Union Tranviarios Automotor Tucumán (UTA) confirmed a stoppage of activities in the San Pedro de Colalao and Villa Gloria bus company to complain about poor conditions of the units.
The start of the measure began at 1 p.m. and has affected the users of the services that link the capital with the towns of northern Tucumán, including the city of the same name and Trancas, among others.
“The lives of workers and users are at stake,” reproached the head of UTA Tucumán, Cesar Gonzalez.
The staff is concentrated at this time in the area of the 9 de Julio park “waiting for answers.” “If there is no solution, the strike will continue,” the leader emphasized about the continuity of the measure this Friday.
Sergio Gomezlinked to passenger transport firms, explained in an interview with LG Play that “the state of the units is in accordance with the circumstance that one is going through as a company, as a country and as an activity.”
The businessman made reference to a traffic situation that one of the buses on the line was involved in yesterday. A driver, according to what he said, performed a complicated maneuver on “the descent of El Cadillal.”
“We do maintenance permanently, 24 hours a day. (The driver and the companion) did not leave any news regarding problems in the car. 80 people work in the company, we have 40 cars that move permanently, the rolling stock also has permanent wear and tear and we transport 3,000 students and other passengers who do their thing within the buses,” he noted.
And he continued: “We are almost 100 people who work to sustain all this. The truth is that, regardless of the model of the car, poor treatment generates some discomfort.”
Gómez expressed that he is concerned about the impact of the strike, not only economic, but also social. “Today we have 3,000 kids in school, some entering and some leaving the establishments, and more than 500 teachers,” he added in relation to the day’s activity.
