The transport union had called for a total cessation of service starting at midnight on Monday in demand for equal opening.
The UTA union had announced a total collective strike for 48 hours starting at midnight on Monday, in case an agreement is not reached for updating salaries. However, the Government issued the mandatory conciliationfor which the measure will not be carried out.
The union decision had been made in the middle of the second meeting between the business chambers and the union, this time with the Ministry of Labor.
As this media reported, The chambers maintain that there is no possible salary offer to the union. According to what they stated at the hearing, the Ministry of Transportation approved the calculations and average costs of AMBA services corresponding to the July-October period, but it is of “vital importance” that the organization issues a ruling on the claims regarding the “essential” modification of the methodology for distributing tariff compensations.
“The extremely serious situation that the sector of short and medium distance automotive passenger transport companies of the AMBA is going through is far from being resolved, having arrived at it due to the lack of recognition of real costs that allow sustain the provision of the service”, maintain the business entities.
Meanwhile, from the UTA they highlight that “it is essential” to readjust salaries, since since August “the discussion has expanded more and more.” “The Business Chambers have not brought us a salary offer as requested,” the union warns.
The UTA’s claim is based on a basic salary established for August of $1,160,000, September $1,200,600, October $1,242,621, November $1,283,627 and December $1,322,136.
The hearing between the parties is still open and the final record is being drawn up. “They know that with the announcement we will ask for mandatory conciliation, that’s why they took 48 hours,” they insist from the business side. However, they reiterate that the warning could materialize since there will be no financial offer during the hearing, as they confirm.
