The UTA announced a total strike of collectives: when would it be

The Tramway Automotive Union (UTA) announced a total strike of collectives for next Tuesday, June 13, after negotiations for a wage increase failed. The union reported, through a statement, that the measure of force will affect the short and medium distance service. And he warned that he will not abide by a new mandatory conciliation if it is dictated.” If by Monday we do not receive a salary response in accordance with the request made in the previous hearing, there will be a general stoppage of short and medium distance passenger transport throughout the country for 24 hours, starting at 00.00 hours on Tuesday 13 of the current. They challenge us and force us to carry out the measure of force for our salary,” they said in the document. The union is seeking a retroactive increase so that the basic from April is $ 262,000. They also demand a one-time, non-remunerative bonus of $32,000 and daily travel expenses for workers. A new hearing between the parties will be held on Monday. An agreement could defuse the protest. The UTA referred to the difficulties that the sector is going through in terms of costs of services that “are calculated with prices of non-wage inputs at December 2022 values.” In addition, he pointed out that the tariff compensations “are being paid with delays” and that there are “amounts accrued without paying since March.” The union had announced an identical measure for May 30, but an extension of the mandatory conciliation dictated by the Ministry of Labor left it without effect.
