In the midst of the mandatory conciliation, the Television Union (SATSAID) managed to visualize the conflict unleashed around the parity of the staff of open channels and producers of the activity, with a demonstration at the gates of the Big Brother house (located in the town of Martínez), which forced Telefé to abruptly modify the end of the broadcast. With a peak of 26.1 rating points, The dispute between two reality heavyweights –Walter “Alfa” Santiago and Romina Uhrig- was the ideal setting for the union to express its discomfort over the lack of salary agreement in the said branch.
For the viewers, the bid between the two characters of the famous house was lived passionately. Finally, the expelled was “Alpha” who, after a tense farewell to his colleagues, had to undertake the trip to the central studios, where he would be received by his family and friends, plus the public that filled the Telefé studio.
However, the host Santiago Del Moro told the audience that, due to the large number of people that surrounded the house, the transfer of “Alfa” was complicated, although he never clarified that it was a protest by members of SATSAID. Another ingredient that drew attention was the large number of rumble bombs that were heard once the result of the vote was known.
Celebrations, fireworks and political reading in Big Brother
Those who are still in the race for the succulent prize (about 15 million pesos that are updated as the days go by) They estimated that the fireworks had been displayed by Romina’s followers, who were celebrating the departure of “Alfa”. Actually, it was the television workers themselves that, although they did not comply with the immediate task of disseminating their claim, it was disseminated through the networks, achieving the projected effect.
angry and furious, “Alfa” justified his expulsion to “los peronchos”, making clear his preference for macrismo and pointing to the Kirchnerist militancy of Romina, who was a national deputy for the Frente de Todos between 2019 and 2021.
Obviously, he could not think that the day’s vote had nothing to do with politics and a lot to do with salary and labor demands. Meanwhile, from the SATSAID they spread their claims through the networks and pointed out in their posts Telefé, NIck, MTV, Comedy Central Pluto TV and Paramount +.
The union of television workers complicated the departure of “Alfa” from Big Brother.
Other protests: how much increase they demand
But this type of protest was not the first, since last week, The host Laura Fernández was on the air with her program Bienvenidos a Bordo (Channel 13) experienced a similar situation, when the television workers approached the door of the Kuarzo production company with drums and fireworks to make the request for a 24 percent salary increase for the January-March period.
The SATSAID led by Horacio Arreceygor had been negotiating with the representatives of the business chambers ATA and CAPIT for a salary increase. When it seemed all resolved, the employers ignored the offer which resulted in a cessation of activities that was suspended due to the issuance of the mandatory conciliation ordered by the Ministry of Labor.
The resolution of the labor portfolio prevents the implementation of force measuresThat is why the union is resorting to new modalities to press an agreement. In fact, he called for a mobilization for next Wednesday, when the hearing between the parties takes place, at the ministerial headquarters in Callao at 100.
