The National Chamber of Labor Appeals rejected an appeal filed by the owner of the Lácteos Vidal company, Alejandra Bada Vazquez, in the case investigating the blockade of an industrial plant by the Atilra union and the subsequent dismissal of workers, due to different resolutions that were unfavorable for the company.
“I feel sorry because they obviously
don't know what it means to keep a company alive
, they don't know what it costs to produce, what it costs to move forward, to get clients, to produce, to try to export, to try to grow,” Bada Vazquez lamented. be consulted by
Clarín Rural.
Lacteos Vidal had appealed the magistrate's resolutions that ordered compliance with the
reinstatement of the dismissed workers
, the mandatory fines for ignoring judicial resolutions and the embargoes produced by the lack of payment to the Atilra workers with their corresponding economic sanctions.
"With these rulings
they hit in the head those of us who push the car, those of us who pay taxes,
those of us who try to increase the workforce and provide more work, those of us who try to launch a new production line, those of us who bet to the country,” the businesswoman added, and then she addressed the union directly: “I know that
Atilra is cruel to us because they couldn't melt us down
, because we didn't give in to the extortion of the blockade. When they kidnapped my factory we did not give in to extortion, so they want revenge because they did not manage to create the cooperative for the lazy. The employees and us, the family, free ourselves from the union mafia from Atilra to Lácteos Vidal, and I understand that at the end of the road there will be justice. We have a clear conscience, both the family and those who continued working, as well as the new employees. We are working well. I trust that at the end of the road there will be justice.”
The background of the case

The conflict escalated with blockades by the union of the company's factory located in the town of Moctezuma, in western Buenos Aires, and resulted in the dismissal of 26 workers.
Then there was a precautionary measure against these dismissals and the judicialization of the case. Alejandra Bada Vázquez, the owner of the company, with the legal representation of the lawyer María Florencia Arietto, became a plaintiff.
Now the company's labor lawyer, Eduardo Darriba, is evaluating the next step to take.
