On Tuesday, May 21, the Faculty Union Advisory Council (CAS), the area that brings together union organizations with the Faculty to generate proposals for exchange and articulation. On this occasion, during the CAS meeting, the situation experienced by the workers of the different Unions was shared, as well as the implications that the approval of the so-called “Bases Law” in the Senate of the Nation could have. .

The representatives of the Faculty on the Council described the budgetary situation that the national universities are going through and the actions that were carried out, highlighting the federal university march on April 23, which had the support of the labor movement and society in general, which was obtaining budgetary responses for all the Universities, with the conflict still open due to the lack of updated teaching and non-teaching salaries. The meetings that were held at our university were also positively valued, such as the one held on Tuesday, May 14, which brought together human rights organizations, social organizations, the three union centers, representations of student centers and political and academic references, to think about strategies to face the so-called Bases Law.

Meanwhile, on the part of the union organizations, each participant who spoke presented the situation of their activity, as well as that of the workers grouped in each union. They all agreed that as a result of the model applied by the National Government, the drop in purchasing power is significant, and that in several places there were massive layoffs and suspensions, with the State, National Companies and the industrial and construction sector being the places most affected. There was also a reading on the consequences that the positive sanction of the so-called “Bases Law” would have, considering that it will be detrimental to all sectors, especially the articles referring to the privatization of public services and the labor reform, which raises the affecting acquired rights, such as stability and protection against arbitrary dismissals. It was also highlighted that the so-called Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI), if approved, could be a mechanism for looting and extracting natural resources, extremely negative for the development of our country.

To close, it was agreed to generate a document in which to capture a joint state of affairs and a position that rejects the Bases Law, which, as discussed, will only deepen the situation of unemployment, poverty and exclusion, due to the decrease in incomes and layoffs in all branches of the economy, as well as the foreignization of our strategic natural resources.

On behalf of the Faculty, the dean Ana Arias, the vice dean Diego de Charras, the secretary of Institutional Management Diego Bráncoli, the secretary of University Extension, Ianina Lois, her counterpart for Gender and Human Rights, Malena González Magnasco, and the Undersecretary of Labor, Vocational Training and Territorial Articulation, Humberto Rodríguez.
