National transport strike: when is it and who does it affect?
The National Transportation Board is made up of Juan Pablo Brey (Aeronavigators), Omar Maturano (La Fraternidad), Mario Caligari (UTA), Pablo Moyano and Omar Pérez (truck drivers), Juan Carlos Schmid (Fempinra), Pablo Biró (APLA) and Raúl Durdos (SOMU). Last week, the organization decided, in a conclave, to carry out a strike transportation for 24 hours on October 30.
The meeting was held on the premises of the Federation of Taxi Workers, at Quintinuo Bocayuva 1274 and, in addition to the leaders of the 7 named unions, other sectors were also invited, such as the Workers’ Association of the Automotive Transport Industry. (AOITA), of Córdoba, and the Maritime Pointers Union (SEAMARA).

The measure will initially affect trains, ships and planes for 24 hours throughout the country. It remains to be known what the position of the collective sector will be regarding the announcement. The absence and doubt of the Automotive Tram Union can be explained because the union is negotiating a salary increase inside the mandatory conciliation period established by the Ministry of Labor. In this context, the UTA could not declare a strike until the conciliation expires, the October 28.
Despite the approach, the National Transportation Board maintains its decision. The Government and representatives of the CGT met – two weeks ago – and agreed on the formation of a tripartite table to advance issues of the labor agenda, salary recomposition and union participation in the May Council. If there is a solution to your demands, It is not ruled out that the October 30 strike will be lifted.
