It is worth remembering that the UTA is currently going through a mandatory conciliation between the business chambers of the sector and the union leaders, dictated by the Government. It will end next Monday, October 28.
The last meeting of the national board was headed by the co-owner of the CGT Pablo Moyano and the general secretary of Truckers, Hugo Moyano. They also participated Juan Carlos Schmid (Dredging and Beaconing), Juan Pablo Brey (Aircraft), Omar Maturano (The Fraternity) and Pablo Biro (Airline Pilots), among other transport unionists, and highlighted the absence of Roberto Fernández, union representative.
Last Friday had been marked as the key date on which the collective union would speak out. Despite the various versions that confirm their non-adherence, the union has not yet made an official statement.
In dialogue with Radio 10, Pablo Moyano declared: “It has been decided that on October 30 in all modes of transport a general strike will be carried out, I am talking about trains, subways, ports, aeronautical vehicles, truck drivers. All modes of transport have joined. It has been reported that I think the UTA is not stopping. They will have their reasons, history will judge them Because I don’t think my fellow bus drivers are living in another world, right?”
Less than a week before the measure of force, everything seems to indicate that the buses will operate normally. However, It remains to know the official version communicated by UTA.
What does the UTA claim?
The collective union has been demanding, for months, a salary improvement that is in line with inflation in their income. For their part, the transport businessmen claim that they cannot comply with these claims because the government does not provide subsidy funds.
In detail, the UTA requires a basic salary made up of $1,160,000 for August, which then in September drops to $1,200,600, and in October $1,242,621. The increase would continue in November with $1,283,627 and finally in December it would reach $1,322,136plus a proportional increase for travel expenses.

One of the biggest disagreements between both parties occurred because the Executive Branch already reported that they are not going to increase subsidies for AMBA lines. Likewise, there is no thought of an increase in short term ticketdue to impact it would have on inflation.
