Government and the guild of machinists The fraternity accusations are exchanged for the train stoppage this Wednesday, which has already begun and which affects more than a million users. The Ministry of Transportation valued as “inentendible” the measure of strength, while Omar Maturanohead of the union, maintained that no one from the Executive summoned them and that the union is not asking for an increase, but rather a inflation update.
The portfolio, which depends on the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputohighlighted in a statement shortly before the start of the strike the “bad faith in negotiations when the joint negotiating table is in full forceeven having reached, at the beginning of the month, positive results in the agreements.”
For his part, Maturano responded: “We get tired of making complaints, of asking for our salaries to be updated. We don’t ask for a raise, just that they update our salary due to rampant inflation”. Likewise, the head of the union remarked in dialogue with TN: “We are patient, but patience has a limit” and after that he indicated that “a machinist with ten years of service earns between 960,000 and 990,000 pocket pesos”.
The union leader also revealed that he will not go to the meeting called for Wednesday at 10 in the morning for salary negotiation, a point that irritates the Government. “I have things to do”, he responded to the query. “The deputy secretary, the union member, can go, there are a lot of colleagues who can go to represent The Fraternity. “It is a meeting of verse,” Maturano launched.
In this framework, from the secretariat that directs Franco Mogettaone of the people from Córdoba who joined the Government and who, at least for now, maintains his position, They targeted La Fraternidad as the only wayward guild.
“The only guild that chose the mechanism of the measure of force is La Fraternidad, as opposed to the open dialogue that is maintained with the rest“, said the head of Transportation and appreciated that the Railway Union and the Association of Management Personnel of Argentine Railways and Ports have not joined the claim of the union founded in 1878.
However, Maturano rejected that the union he leads has a intentionality behind against the Executive that directs Javier Milei: “To the previous Government of Alberto Fernandez We made four stops. We had the last strike in October of last year. To the government of Mauricio Macri We made five stops. In the government of Cristina Kirchner the fraternity stopped, also in the government of Nestor Kirchner”.
The Government, for its part, recalled that “has already granted a 16% increase to workers’ gross salaries“, but Maturano replied that The increase they request is 50% to “have the same purchasing power as in November of last year”.
