translated from Spanish: Esteban Paredes and the Salary Case: “We Fight for the Right”

Esteban Paredes, striker and captain of Colo Colo, spoke on Monday of the position of the first albo team after a new meeting without agreement with the Black and White board in relation to the pay cut. While the concessionaire has delivered proposals for a certain percentage of return (up to 80%) until 2023, the popular cast roster wants 100% of the discounted to be reinstated and that happens during 2021.The ‘7’ of the ‘Cacique’ got the voice out for the players. “We’ve been negotiating for several weeks now. Players, besides the workers, fight for the right. We don’t want to steal any weight from the club, it’s not our intention. Just come to an agreement. It looks a little more than we’re talking about and this negotiation is to come to a good deal and see what’s best for both of us,” he said. As a team, as a campus we have decided to have a meeting between all to assess the situation. Maybe we see it difficult, far away, the campus is very firm. Opinions may vary from here to tomorrow or Wednesday. Let’s expose the negotiation that was done today to see what the colleagues think,” he added. Even the historic goalscorer of national football unveiled a determination that made a campus during these days of tug-of-war with the regency. “We are not willing to collect the Winners’ Prizes. That’s already helping the club, it’s giving in at a high percentage, I’m not going to give the figure. So is a part of the South American that we don’t want to charge. We are giving up quite a bit, we are giving a lot of deadline to the steering to meet 100% of the return. We’re willing to give one, two, up to three years,” he revealed. Finally, Paredes noted in a personal capacity that “people do not know the reality. We’re workers. I’ve been at the institution for 11 years, I’m not going to leave with a little end. There are many workers who have been going with a fine for 20 years that can serve them in the long run. But we stay there, we have 40 more years to live and the remuneration serves us like everyone else.”
