The Government of Santa Fe ordered the presence of security forces inside the plant that the Sancor dairy cooperative owns in the town of Sunchales, as a result of a long labor conflict that usually paralyzes activities.
The decision to send police forces was confirmed to Télam by spokespersons from the provincial Security portfolio, after the local Minister of Labor, Roald Báscolo, assured after a visit to the plant that they were not going to allow blockades by different union groups. .
The measure aims
to guarantee the labor rights of employees who do not adhere to the forceful measures
, and also that of strikers.
"We respect the right to strike, having complaints from workers who did not receive their full salary," said Báscolo.
"But we also respect the right to work of those who want to do so," he added.
The Sancor plant in Sunchales is going through
a long labor conflict
between the cooperative's administrators and the sector's union, Atilra.
The union ordered forceful measures for delays in canceling the salaries of its members, which, in some cases, paralyzed the main plant of the dairy company.
Given this situation, after the visit of the Minister of Labor last week, the Government of Maximiliano Pullaro decided to send security forces to the plant, to avoid blockages.
The measure was celebrated
by the Anti-Blockade Business Movement (MEAB)
, which thanked the governor "for having the police at the plant, to prevent union gangsters from mistreating Sancor workers who are eager to work."
In its account on the social network the constant extortion of union delegates".
For the body of Atilra delegates in Sancor, however, the police presence means "an escalation of intimidation."
In an open letter addressed to Governor Pullaro, the delegates denounced that Minister Báscolo incurred "a serious breach of his duties as a public official" and that he tried to "smother our labor demand."
The body of delegates justified these statements by pointing out that the Minister of Labor himself recognized the delay in the payment of salaries and that, among his legal functions, is that of "monitoring compliance with current labor legislation" and "applying sanctions for non-observance of the provisions that regulate work".
In another paragraph of the letter, they indicated that "the public, partial and lawless statements of the provincial Minister of Labor only contribute to increasing the discomfort that every collective labor conflict entails."
"We find ourselves facing a clear attempt to stifle our fair labor demand," they concluded.
