Train stoppage: despite the mandatory conciliation, this Tuesday there is no service

The mandatory conciliation that the Ministry of Labor issued on Monday was not enough to prevent La Fraternidad from carrying out a 24-hour train strike today in demand of a bonus of $ 50,000 for retirees and pensioners. The union led by Omar Maturano ratified the measure of force despite the intervention of the labor portfolio. Long lines of people waited this morning at bus stops, before the interruption of the railway service. The protest had been called by the General Union of Transport Workers’ Associations (UGATT) to demand a bonus for retirees and pensioners. Last night, the Ministry of Labour issued the mandatory conciliation in order to defuse the measure of force. However, the Fraternity ratified the strike.” They told us they were going to fine us. That they apply it when they have to apply it, but La Fraternidad does not accept this mandatory conciliation and that is why from 00:00 no train works,” Maturano.La West section of the Sarmiento Railroad, led by Rubén “Pollo” Sobrero, told TN either. Meanwhile, the Association of Subway and Premetro Workers (AGTSyP) will carry out a series of force measures starting this Tuesday in the framework of claims for the alleged presence in the network of asbestos, a carcinogenic substance in the network. The claims will begin this Tuesday on line D, in which there will be an opening of accesses between 13 and 14, and the total paralysis of the service between 14 and 15. On Friday, meanwhile, they will release access on line E between 13 and 14, while the service will be paralyzed between 14 and 15.
