After the announcement of the Automotive Tram Union (UTA) For a new measure of force announced for next Tuesday, May 6, the Government convened a meeting for this Monday between the guild and the Business Chamber to prevent unemployment from moving forward.
The brand new secretary of Transportation, Luis Pierriniwho assumed the position in replacement of Franco Mogettawork against clock to reach an agreement between union representatives and business cameras. From the Government, it no longer has a possibility of dictating a new mandatory conciliation, so that in the event that the guild continues with the same position, Next Tuesday there will be unemployment.
The meeting will be held by videoconferencing from 14 on Monday. Precisely, at the last summit, which occurred on April 30, an agreement was not reached and from the UTA they announced the new measure of force.
Precisely, the guild issued a statement to announce the claim and said: “Entrepreneurs have offered for the months of February, March, April, May and June and June A remunerative increase of less than 6% to be paid as of June. This offers non -remunerative sums of $ 40,000 for May 26; $ 50,000 on June 16 and $ 70,000 on July 15. A disrespect“.
“Despite the efforts made by this national Board of Directors, so far the business offer has not been improved and the period of mandatory labor conciliation has been exhausted. In accordance, as a first measure, a Activity unemployment for 24 hours For Tuesday, May 6, the current, from 00:00 hs. nationally, in Short and medium distance passenger transport companies“, He completed the writing.
In that sense, the claim of collective drivers is to carry the basic salary from the 1,200,000 current pesos at 1,700,000 pesos. However, from the business chambers they warned that, for the moment, it is far from reaching an agreement: “We made an offer to the guild that is in line with the numbers that we seeconsidering that half of AMBA groups have the frozen rate 8 months ago, ”said Luciano Fusaro, president of the Argentine Association of Automotive Transportation Entrepreneurs (AAeta).
“All this structure used by the government to determine the cost of what it costs to mobilize the 18 thousand groups in the AMBA was calculated with the prices that the economy had in December, and did not include any budget item for tariff adjustments this year. We made an offer, but the guild considers it insufficient”He added in dialogue with TN.
Meanwhile, he referred to the prices of tickets and the money that companies receive to negotiate with the drivers: “It is the state that authorizes us and decides the rate we are going to obtain. It is always a symbolic rate in relation to the cost. Remember that 70% is subsidized. The box is handled from the outside. We always offer the maximum to avoid a conflict, but so far the tools above the table were scarce”.
For its part, the chief of cabinet, Guillermo Francosin dialogue with Radio Mitre, He referred to the measure announced by the group that leads Roberto Fernández For Tuesday and pointed out: “I would tell the UTA leaders that we are with a change of secretary of transport, which perhaps It would be a good time to suspend a few days the unemployment and sit down to analyze the subject and see what alternatives we can find to solve the problem“.
Pierrinibrand new head of the Ministry of Transportation, is a Mendoza businessman of the Insurance item, but who is not known in the curriculum background in the transport management area. Until now it is not known if, together with Mogetta, they will also renounce its three sub -secretaries, also from the province of Córdoba and with a much more technical profile. This is the Undersecretary of Air Transport, Hernán Gómezthe rail transport, Martín Ferreiro and automotive transport, Mariano Plencovich.
In these cases, the Executive always tried to stay out of the joint discussion, although both the UTA and the companies had in each bracelet of this type an element of voltage that made the difference when closing a salary agreement: the amount of subsidies that transport could lower to the sector.
It is an argument that contemplates some 87 billion pesos monthly subsidies that cover the cost of operation of the collective transport system that depend on the national jurisdiction.
