The general secretary of the Rosario delegation of the United Argentine Port Union (SUPA), Cesar Aybarensured that the next monday he withdrewwill resume normal activity in the port of Rosario.
The conflict between the concessionaire Terminal Puerto Rosario (TPR) and the SUPA broke out one month due to the discussion over salary increases, which led to several days of strikes, the stoppage of the docks and the dismissal of 25 stevedores.
“There was an agreement, 20 of the 25 colleagues were reinstated and the 5 dismissed with cause received compensation as if they were without cause,” Aybar told Télam.
In addition, he indicated that the laid off will access the “unemployment fund for one year” and they will enjoy coverage of “social work for six months”.
The union representative also reported that in the discussion parity got “a 90% salary increase until March of this year, with clause of revision“.
The agreement reached on Friday in the Labor portfolio also contemplates “a clause that no one can be fired or suspended for lack of work or infrastructure problems“, said Aybar, in relation to the lack of investment of TPR in the local docks in terms of infrastructure.
For this reason, on December 7, the representative of TRP (a partnership between Chilean Overseas and the local vincentin which manages the local docks) was displaced of the place it occupied in the Puerto Rosario Administrative Entity (Enapro), the control body of the concessioned terminals.
In his place, a representative of Port Services (Sepor), a firm that has the concession for docks VI and VII of the Port of Rosario, took over.
The head of the local SUPA maintained that an improvement was also agreed for TPR’s temporary personnel, while the concessionaire assumed the commitment to pay them the Christmas bonus for 20 dismissed which have now been reinstated.
Lastly, the guild agreed with the concessionaire the payment of the 65 percent of days off due to strikes.
This week the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA) had claimed to the Ministry of Labor declare the “essentiality” of the activity of the Port of Rosario in order to mobilize the loads, after the stoppage of the terminals for almost a month.
According to the monitoring carried out by the manufacturing entity, the conflict “keeps the cargo of more than 1,000 containers immobilized”which “seriously disturbs the operation of foreign trade.”
