Fernando Gambera explained that the only “harmonic” solution is an agreement between companies, the State and workers.
The general secretary of the Association of Bank Employees of Uruguay (AEBU), Fernando Gambera, confirmed that the account statement of the bank account is in a “compromised” situation and, among criticisms of the social security reform, warned that, if there is no agreement with the companies and the State, would run out of moneyor to face the last quarter of the year.
prawn He considered that the only “harmonious” solution to the conflict is a tripartite arrangement and confirmed to Underlined that negotiations are open. The problem with the Fund was recognized months ago by the government, which in any case was optimistic about the future.
When analyzing the origin of the conflict, the referent of the AEBU He maintained that there were multiple variables to reach this situation, including the pandemic, which led to the loss of more than two thousand jobs. To this was added the fact that the Executive decided not to replace the vacancies.
For Gambera, these variables, among which he even included the exchange rate, led to “a compromised situation.” Although he acknowledged that there are still funds “for a few months”, he warned: “There will have to be an agreement soon so that the Caja Bancaria does not run out of money.”
The AEBU assured that “today people retire younger”
On the other hand, he focused on the fact that today “People retire faster and younger.” In this sense, he pointed out that until last year the average age to retire was about 61 years and now it is being 60. “As they leave the job market before, you have to start paying those retirements before,” he observed.
By way of conclusion, he indicated that the negotiation “must have the premise that we all put at the same time” and asked that the State make “a third of the effort, a third of the companies and a third of the workers and retirees” to overcome this situation and achieve a healthy economy.
Finally, Gambera referred in dialogue with Radio Carve to social security reform and he did not hesitate to affirm that the sector continues to oppose it. “We want to overturn that law”, anticipated the union leader.
