Find out which are the unions that decided to carry out union measures and how it affects the services.
The social security reform has brought controversy both within the coalition and to those who have historically been against it. This Tuesday the article will be voted on and that is why several unions decided to raise their voices.
The first to communicate measures of force was the National Union of Workers and Transport Workers (Unott), who announced a transport strike for 24 hours in a statement in which he expressed his “total rejection” of the initiative promoted by the government, and which in recent weeks incorporated new modifications agreed with the Cabildo Abierto and Partido Colorado.
The decision ratified this Friday was made, however, a month ago, when Unott joined the general strike of the PIT-CNT on March 23 and announced that it would take other forceful measures when the project was discussed in the Lower House.
From Unott they affirmed that the different unions that make it up will each define their form of participation. While some will adhere from the early morning shifts until Tuesday nights, others will even stop from Monday night. In addition, the measure will cover all branches of the transport urban, suburban, metropolitan, interdepartmental and international. And, in turn, there will be concentration and mobilization in the surroundings of the Legislative Palace.
For its part, the Central Council of the Uruguayan Banking Association (AEBU) also announced a 24-hour strike on Tuesday. AEBU assures that the reform “implies that two out of three workers will have Losses in your retirement or pensions” and that “the increase in the retirement age will have an impact on employment, both among young people and among older people”.
It also states that the project “deepens the personal savings system by incorporating the Caja Bancaria into the regime of AFAP”. “This implies, at the same time, dissolving the solidarity distribution system of our Fund and causing a cost of more than 2,000 million dollars that all Uruguayans will pay,” said the union, which also called on the workers “to surround the Legislative Palace” that day.
