A bus driver was shot in the right hand during an assault that occurred on Thursday night when the unit was circulating in Moreno, west of Greater Buenos Aires.

As a consequence of the fact, the workers of the five lines that correspond to this company, Transporte La Perlita, started a strike demanding greater security.

This was reported by police and union sources, who indicated that, due to the measure of force,

from dawn until midnight this Friday,

the buses of lines 311, 312, 501, 500 and 416 do not circulate.

The fact of insecurity, in which the driver was wounded by a bullet in the hand, was around 22 on Thursday, when he made the tour in the southern area of ​​Moreno.

On that journey, the unit was approached by a criminal who acted without accomplices and who, after the attempted robbery and the shot he fired at the driver, escaped.

The victim is out of danger and was treated at the Mariano y Luciano de La Vega hospital in Moreno.

Due to this situation, the delegates of the Automotive Tram Union (UTA) determined an indefinite strike that began after midnight and that they assure they will maintain until they are received by police and municipal authorities to guarantee "greater safety for workers and passengers. ", indicated union sources to

.

For this Friday a strike was planned for groups of all lines due to a wage dispute.

However, Roberto Fernández, UTA leader, confirmed to

Clarín

on Thursday that the transport union reached a salary agreement with the employers of the sector, thus ruling out a strike by groups that they were considering carrying out on Friday.

The union agreed to a compensatory salary increase for 2020, of 15 thousand pesos to be paid in three installments.

Thus, the first installment corresponding to last October will be paid in mid-March, the second -November- around April 15 and the final -of December- at the average May.

At the end of last year, the UTA also carried out a collective strike for the murder of the driver Pablo Flores, conductor of line 218 of the Almafuerte company, while he was driving through the San Javier neighborhood, in the Buenos Aires town of Virrey del Pino, in the party of La Matanza.
