The UOCRA declared itself on alert due to layoffs in the sector and there is no news of a new increase, although they continue negotiating with the business chambers.
The Construction Workers Union (UOCRA) continues negotiating with the business chambers for new increases, because the 20% in January was not enough in the current economic context. In addition, the union declared itself on alert due to layoffs in the sector, since the paralysis of public works decreed by the Government and the slowdown in investment generated the “loss of 50 thousand jobs”.
“The suspension of public works ordered by the government of Javier Milei and the brake on investment put the continuity of ongoing private projects at risk.which will inevitably affect the job stability of workers,” considered the UOCRA in a statement.
