A group of workers from the La Plata Cemetery demonstrated this Wednesday with an open radio at the gate of the property, located at 72 between 131 and 137, in demand for salary improvements, a move to a permanent plant and work clothes.
the dialogue with 0221.com.ar the municipal delegate of the Association of State Workers (ATE) in the establishment, Juan Aguirrewarned that The sector’s claims “are historic” and involve “salary increases, transfers to the plant, contracts, hours, risk bonuses, APR collection for other colleagues and work clothes, one of the most basic claims we have.”.
To this is added an order for work tools, supplies for work accidents, such as a first aid suitcase; and repellents for mosquitoes, since they “gave one for 15 people in one shift and it doesn’t last at all,” as they denounced.
“I had an accident, I scraped myself with a drawer and I had nothing to heal myself,” the worker exemplified. And he added that these protests “have been coming for years and we are still fighting without getting a response.”
“We are from Wednesday with retention of tasks until next Monday. On Monday we will hold an assembly with all the comrades to define whether we will continue with retention on Tuesday or organize a strike. We await a response from the mayor. Julio Garro or whoever is from the Municipality, so that they take charge of the historical claims that we have been making,” the trade unionist summarized.
Municipal sources, however, toned down the protest and assured 0221.com.ar that the scope of the protest is “minor”. In the Commune they indicated that it is a tiny group of workers and confirmed that the operation of the establishment is “absolutely normal.”
