The construction union’s forceful measures aroused criticism from the nationalist senator Sebastián Da Silva.
The forceful measures adopted in recent days by the Single National Union of Construction and Annexes (Sunka), in search of their search to reach a new collective agreement within the framework of the Salary Councils 2023aroused criticism from the senator of the National Party (PN), sebastian da silvawith responses from broad front (FA).
In a speech for the anniversary of List 40 in Hillthe nationalist legislator urged the PIT-CNT and the Sunca to “make all the strikes they want” and “riot all of Uruguay”as long as “do not stop with the construction of the Hospital del Cerro”because behind this construction “there are humble people who need attention.”
“Stop everything, except the Hospital del Cerro,” slipped Da Silva, who went even further against the unions, stating that the PN “shows its face and “goes head on,” so “they have nothing to say”. Da Silva described the Sunca as part of “the most rancid left every day”.
“It hurts them that we are in Cerro, the municipality with the largest leftist electorate” continued Da Silva, who assured that the fact that the president’s administration Luis Lacalle Pou is building a hospital there generates discomfort in the opposition.
Óscar Andrade: “We have to thank Sunca”
He is also a senator for the FA, Oscar Andradeechoed the words of the white legislator and replied through his Twitter account saying that “More than asking Sunca for anything, we should thank him for donations and solidarity work in public hospitals”.
“There is an agreement and if it was delayed the main responsibility was the government that presented the guidelines for the negotiation three months late“, remarked Andrade.
In turn, the Frente Amplio politician celebrated that Sunca has managed to sign a new agreement that “establishes clear rules for the industry for three years”, “creates a fund to care for mental health and addictions”, and “a job bank to prioritize access to work, especially in the interior”.
