He Ancap union intensified the force measures and, in addition to two days of strikes, ordered the cutting of the supply of aerofuels in the Carrasco International Airport, something that puts the commercial flights in the country.
The Ancap Federation (Fancap) made the decision to escalate the conflict due to what they consider a lack of response from the state company to the claim for the delivery to private parties of the aerofuel plant from Carrasco.
The resolution of Fancap This involves the interruption of supply, but also a 24-hour stoppage this Thursday in the plants of Mines and Paysandú, as well as a strike for this Friday in Manga Plant, as well as other surprise measures.

The union’s claim against Ancap
Weeks ago, Fancap expressed its rejection of the agreement reached by the state firm for its exit from Talobras, a public limited company created in 2012 with capital of Ancap, Petrobras Uruguay (acquired in 2020 by DISA) and Golden Sails (today Orodone SA).
“Ancap is delivering to private a completely refurbished, new plant, which has investments “very important projects that have been carried out in recent years in terms of infrastructure, tanks and so on, practically at zero cost to a private company,” Colina questioned.
On the fate of the fuel sales business In Carrasco, he said: “Now DISA would be keeping it and, with the excuse of avoiding a possible trial, the Uruguayan people, who owns all these assets, is paying a private company with them to use them.”
For the union leader, this is a “bad decision” and he ratified the measures “surprisingly” for this Friday, although he anticipated that they will probably be extended for a “short time.”
