Association of industrial fisheries (Asipes), represented by its p resident Macarena Cepeda unveiled that pesquera Landes has laid off 180 workers, who would be 2000 more to thrive project of origin legislation advancing in Congress and that – he said – will leave out of the capture of cuttlefish to the industrial sector; becoming a “tombstone” for plants processing this resource in Talcahuano, Coronel and Lota, in the Biobio.
It is regrettable that the fishing industry do not learn from the past, and again use tactics that aim to “lie, lie… that something is”.
With respect to the assertion that aims to project out will leave the industry of the capture of the giant squid, that is false. This, because the Bill maintains the fee of 20%, and only requires them to invest in a new art of fishing.
For effect on the levels of employment in the sector, talking about 2,000 layoffs, again will lack the truth. If that figure, would have to close all the fishing industry in the Region of bio bio. This is taking into consideration that, according to official data of the Superintendency of pensions, the total of fishery workers in the region is of 3.105. To this we must add another not minor detail, the industrial share of giant squid for this year was 39.400 tons. I.e., less than 4% of the total share of fishery resources sector received for the 2018 (little more than 1,000,000 tons.).
In relation to the dismissal of 180 workers by pesquera Landes, as a result of the legal changes that drives the Congress, again it’s removing trade and political dividends from a fundamental problem why? Landes is the same company that last week made a “carry” of people to the Parliament to press the legislature and prevent that you legislating against their interests. It is the same company that tries to dismiss women with maternal baseless immunity, according to a report of the Court of lyrics of the work of conception, N ° role/Rit: M-1027 – 2018.
Landes is the same company that dismissed much of its workers after the earthquake; It did not pay compensation for years of service, using the grounds of ‘force majeure’. As it was revealed in trials indemnification (RIT: O-419-2010, RIT: O-471-2010, RIT: O-331-2010, among others). We must not forget, that Eduardo Fosk, CEO of the company, was summoned to testify as imputed in edge Asipes by irregular financing of politics.
With all this background, it is expected that the aim of creating fear in the country, does not influence on citizens and less on this new Congress, which to date has shown that it is able to not make the mistakes of the past and protect the interests of all Chileans.
