In the middle of national transport strikewhich takes place this Wednesday from 00, the union leader of La Fraternidad, Omar Maturanodefended the measure of force and targeted the government of Javier Milei. “This government, like previous ones, They don’t like that we are organized, they don’t like union organizations.. It is a State that does not intend to do the things that a national State should do, but it pretends to be a collecting State“he stated.
Furthermore, Maturano referred to a possible privatization of services: “We have no problem with private capital. For me, they privatize everythingas long as the private capital is humanized and accept the conditions of the labor laws of Argentina“. During the day of protest, trains will not operate, among other services such as subways and commercial airlines.
Given this and in the midst of the measure of force, Maturano responded to the Government in television statements with TN. “It is a State that does not intend to do the things that a national State should do, it does intend to be a collecting State. To collect taxes they are the first in life“, shot the unionist.
Furthermore, the head of La Fraternidad assured: “It is a strike against an economic and social policy“”Stopping is the only way we can find to fight, what are we going to do, mobilization so they can beat us up?” he stated.
Regarding Milei’s objective of continuing with the privatization of state companies, Maturano was blunt: “For me, privatize everything. I have no problem with private capital, as long as it is humanized, accepts the conditions of Argentine labor laws. “What’s the problem?”
“Now, when they privatize or concession, when passengers have to pay $1,500 for a ticket, we won’t even need to stop. Because there will be no passengers“, he stated.
The message from Javier Milei’s government against the unionists at the Retiro station
The transport strike has been taking place since midnight this Wednesday and affects several services throughout the country, so mobility will be complicated during the day. In this context, the Government published a message at the Retiro station with strong criticism of the union leaders who carried out the measure: “The union members don’t let you work“.
“By the measure of strength of the union members Moyano and Biró to take care of their privileges“This Wednesday there will be no transportation services,” the message completes. The Government will face three days of union protests, with forceful measures that will peak with the cessation of activities of the unions of the Transportation Boardbut that will continue on Thursday with a day without buses, if the joint conflict cannot be unblocked.
In this sense, the Government will hold a meeting today at 17 with the participation of national authorities and representatives of the union led by Roberto Fernández.
In addition to the protest by transport workers, there are measures of force by state employees, cuts and popular soup kitchens in various points. University teachers – and student organizations – also joined the protest.
The Government also used the Mi Argentina application to send a message against the national transport strike on Wednesday, October 30. “The union members don’t let you work. As a measure of strength of the Moyano and Biró union members to take care of their privileges, This Wednesday there will be no transportation service. If they force you to stop, call 134,” read the letter posted on the Mi Argentina app.
