On Wednesday, before saying goodbye to their colleagues for the XXL weekend, a group of employees from the National Center for High Performance Sports (CeNARD) began to be notified that their contracts would not be renewed. Thus, after the strong rumors established since Monday when even members of the Federal Police were on the Núñez property,
the Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Sports headed by Daniel Scioli
began the
staff
reduction plan among the
400 people
who work at the different venues (Núñez itself, the Tigre National Rowing and Canoeing Track and the Ezeiza National Sports Center).
Initially there was talk of about 130 people laid off - the new undersecretary
Julio Garro
had warned that there would be a 30 percent reduction - but the unofficial number speaks of between
75 and 100
. Even this Friday, a short list of those who will no longer work in the place where the vast majority of elite Argentine athletes train was known. And there people from many years in CeNARD appear.
“Lifelong workers there
,” they defined them.
One of them wrote to a renowned high-performance coach and told him:
“On Wednesday at 6:00 p.m., after work hours and 18 years of tireless work, Human Resources called me to tell me that they were not going to renew my contract.” ”
.
The two most important unions that bring together CeNARD employees (Union of Civil Personnel of the Nation -UPCN- and Association of State Workers -ATE-) asked their members who received notice of the end of their agreements that on Wednesday report to work normally.
But many don't want to know anything about that
.
The situation occurs within the framework of the extensive reduction of the State proposed by the government of Javier Milei. The President himself assured that 70 thousand contracts would fall before the end of the month, but later the spokesperson for the Casa Rosada
Manuel Adorni
clarified that there would be 15 thousand.
It was sports's turn
