It is as employer contributions, so that the institution can meet its obligations. AEBU announced surprise stoppages.
The State banks resolved to advance the employer contribution to the bank account so that the institution can fulfill its obligations and pay pensions during the remainder of the year, amid versions that indicated that he would run out of money in the coming months.
Meanwhile, since the Association of Bank Employees of Uruguay (AEBU) announced “surprise stoppages” Besides of “Unrestricted cut of overtime, guards and schedule changes.” This is how they prolonged the state of conflict that they declared on June 5, in the midst of an escalation of tension between unions and businessmen.
The AEBU stated through a statement that the official banks approved “advance the employer contribution to the Caja Bancaria, ensuring that it can pay pensions until the end of 2023”.
For his part, private banks refused to lend money as an advance of employer contributions and await the approval of the law of salvage for the Caja Bancaria, as reported by Underlined. It is that the banks pay an employer contribution that is much higher than those of Industry, Commerce and Civil, for which reason they demand measures that aim at a sustainability of the banking pension system.
The AEBU continues in conflict and advanced measures of force
In full conflict over the critical situation of the Caja Bancaria, from AEBU measures of force will be deepened started weeks ago. The unrestricted cut of overtime, guards and schedule changes of official banks, are some of the initiatives, which will continue to be discussed in assemblies in the workplace.
The highlight of the announcement was the decision to call surprise stoppages that could affect “central activities of the financial system”, they pointed. The union considered that the previous measures sought “not to affect the payment of salaries, bonuses and retirements to the population.”
Days ago, the president of the central council of AEBU, Elbio Monegal, had described the attitude of private banks as “immoral”, when considering that they intended to charge the entire cost of the reform on the workers, causing them to “renounce the rights they had won”.
