Another measure of force leaves tire factories without business for 24 hours

a new strike, the fourth in two weeksit will put tire factories out of business Destiny, Pirelli and Bridgestone from mid-morning this Friday.

The measure of force was decided by the Tire union (Sutna), after a new conciliation hearing at the Ministry of Labor. It will be the fourth measure of strength, after the shutdowns made between Thursday and Friday in the last two weeks, to which another shutdown of the three plants was added this Monday.

Surprisingly, the series of strikes It’s not for unsatisfied wage demandsbut in the context of a new parity that will only come into force on 1 July.

Sutna’s wage discussion is a strong union commitment, politically close to Workers’ Partywhich aims to obtain an increase even higher than that achieved by peronistic union management such as The bank.

In Thursday’s game, the Sutna management, led by Alessandro Crespoconfirmed his request for a salary increase which is five percentage points higher than 12-month inflation, calculated between 1 July of last year and the following 30 June. To this end, they also require a 200% increase. hours worked on weekends.

The offer of the companies is not less: they propose a salary increase of 66% it’s a link separately, for the hours worked on Sundays. But they refused, once again, to sign a five-point activation clause above inflation. They also didn’t want to have access to an extra pay raise for days worked on weekends.

As expressed by Sutna and which appears in the minutes of the hearing, “companies count foreign bills in the millions in front of workers and the proposals that bring they do not correct wage arrears at alltherefore they can never be accepted by this union.

But a significant fact, so far, is that of the position of the three companies It remains the same. Only a few months ago this was not the case: in February, individually, Bridgestone agreed to pay a deposit of 750.00 pesos to each of its workers, as a share of the profits.
