From the Argentine Chamber of Foraging Entrepreneursyour general coordinator Fernando Opacaknoted: “We have decided to promote and give our support to entrepreneurs, SMEs, entrepreneurs and producers who have expressed their opinion in favor of the approval by one of the two Houses of the National Congress or both of the chapter of DNU of the National Executive referring to the deregulation of the labor market”.

As representatives of other business sectors – he cited Rodolfo Llanos (entrepreneurs), Gustavo Lazzari (sausages), Alejandra Bada Vázquez (dairy products) – they expressed themselves in favor of the annulment of the precautionary measure which left the reforms of Title IV of the DNU.

“It seemed very important to us in the Chamber of Forage Contractors to express our support and take the initiative to issue a note with which we promote the approval of the DNU as it is or with some reform, because we know that it offers a starting point different from what we have. We are convinced that the labor reforms proposed in the DNU constitute a set of necessary measures give a change to current politics this brought us to where we are now,” said Fernando Opacak.

The importance of the forage chopping sector can be expressed by the following values: $2.25 billion in equipment investments AND 11,700 jobs genuine direct, 2,658,414 hectares silage in the 2022 2023 campaignA diesel consumption equal to 160 million liters per yearwith the 30% of the national meat production and 65% of the national milk production obtained from silage.

From you Giovanni Molinaaerodynamic applicator, which works in a quality program in agricultural spraying and is Secretary of FEARC, the Argentine Federation of Agro-Aerial Chambers, He underlined: “We at Fearca all agree with the content of the Decree of Necessity and Urgency sent to the National Congress by the Executive and for our activity it constitutes an important part of the aforementioned decree”.

Thinking about the work of aeronautical applications and the manpower that the sector requires, Molina believed that “the DNU is the only way out with a future, because, otherwise, it is not possible to contract out works between private individuals with a simple application methodology. In my particular case I count myself among those who would provide work for a large number of things, and the problem in this case is the amount of requirements that must be met to hire people, with laws that are against those who generate work, the men of business”.

He considered that “the previous laws at DNU made things easier for those They don’t want to commit to a job, and the promotion of welfare plans and the lack of job reintegration plans. In reality in the countryside there is a lot of work with the possibility of being paid very well and the problem is that you can’t find people who work.”

He reflected that “they have gone from having a project and when we include in their budget the workload arising from pre-existing laws, it becomes unworkable. Therefore we have to cancel it. I am convinced that with the conditions established in the DNU job opportunities are freed up and this will generate a multitude of opportunities that are currently discouraged by current working conditions,” Molina said.

From the Argentine Federation of Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers, Facmaalso consider the need to implement the proposed changes in the DNU labor law chapter of the national executive.

From this consideration we understand that These labor laws were closely linked to the figure of the labourer. or the labourer, a figure who It has nothing to do with the contractor’s experience and work”.

In reference to the differences between the current laws and those necessary, he stated: “The current laws have nothing to do with the life philosophy of sector employees, with our idiosyncrasies, nor with the work of the entrepreneur, which is totally different from that of an ordinary farmer employee.”

“For this reason, in addition to being in favor of the change in labor law proposed by the DNU of the National Executive“We also ask to be part of the National Commission for Agrarian Work, to have an office and for the contractor to present our needs, seeking the good of our employees.”

“We support the idea that trade unionism requires self-criticism how little the worker is defended, among other things with a social service that is completely inefficient in responding to the worker’s needs, which is not the case in many localities in the interior. “Act in ignorance of the employee’s cause.”

“For this reason it is necessary to put an end to all these labor laws that do nothing but favor labor causes that add nothing to the sector or the worker, under which ultimately fewer and fewer people work, when efforts should be made to create more jobs.” for more people. We believe that the proposed change in the DNU favors the improvement of working conditions”concluded Simone.
