“If the Base Law is approved, it will be a tragedy for workers. This initiative that is going to be brought to the venue contains an absolutely regressive labor reform in terms of rights, and particularly in public employment it contemplates a direct and non-stop regression to the last military dictatorship. “This is a rule that attempts to enable the unlimited looting of all the wealth of our country,” he noted. Rodolfo Aguiargeneral secretary of ATE Nacional.

ATE plans to mobilize the day the law is debated in the Upper House “to demand that senators completely reject it.”
In the announcement of the strike, they mentioned that “the Base Law includes among its articles a reform of the State that makes even permanent plant workers available, failing to comply with all the labor stability standards contemplated in the National Constitution.”
ATE announces a strike due to threat of layoffs
The mobilization to Congress will be joined by other measures to be carried out in the last week of June due to the “threat of new layoffs on June 30 announced by the Government.”
According to ATE, there are more than 60,000 workers at the State’s temporary plant whose contracts were renewed for 90 days and end at the end of June.
In this regard, Aguiar maintained that “we have to prevent the Government from fulfilling its threat of a new wave of layoffs at the end of June. For this reason, we are going to carry out a national force measure in the days before the expiration of all contracts. The Government remains determined to destroy public employment and we have to avoid it.”
