The UTA and the employers still do not reach an agreement and, in this context, the union issued a statement in which it threatens to take forceful measures again once the mandatory conciliation dictated on Tuesday, May 28, which lasts 15 business days.
This Wednesday there was a new meeting between the parties, the third since the conciliation was issued, but it failed again since UTA and ATAP – before the Undersecretariat of Labor – failed to agree on the terms to increase the salaries of the bus drivers. .
“Given the refusal by the business chamber to urgently reach a joint agreement, with the aggravating factor that tomorrow the colleagues will earn less than last month, because the non-remunerative amounts agreed upon in the month of March have already ended, (an unheard of situation at the moment we are living with earning less than the previous month), is that we make it clear that in the face of the refusal of the Business Chamber to see the enormous damage that we workers suffer by earning less, that once the mandatory conciliation expires we will take union measures with the same harshness that hits us workers today,” says the statement, signed by Secretary General Marcelo Maldonado.
“We will be respectful of the law, mainly so as not to put jobs at risk, but once defeated we will not lower our arms in our claim, and those truly responsible for Transportation will be responsible for breaking social peace,” he adds.
It should be noted that ATAP, in order to comply with what UTA requests, asks the provincial government to increase rates or subsidies, or a mixture of the two.
