The Fraternity anticipated that they will cease activities next week, if an agreement for a salary increase is not reached. Today there were complications in the transfer of passengers because the speed was reduced to 30 km/h

The wage conflict on the railway network, which today caused severe delays for thousands of passengers , will continue in the coming days. In the midst of the union measure that consisted of trains running at a maximum of 30 km/h, the head of the La Fraternidad Union , Omar Maturano , confirmed a total 24-hour strike on the railways for Tuesday, June 4.
The strike will be carried out if the request for a salary increase that the train drivers are pushing to the national government is not resolved, given the salaries that "have been frozen for four months."
“ Next Tuesday we are going to have a total 24-hour strike ,” said Maturano in radio statements to several stations . “ We took protest measures to all governments if they did not give us what we deserve,” clarified the union leader.
“We do not want salary increases, we want to match inflation , as we had been matching it with the previous government,” requested the head of La Fraternidad. Given the lack of responses, he pointed out the management of President Javier Milei: “This government told us no in December, in January as well; In February we went on strike. They gave us 12% for those three months and told us that in March they were going to do a total recomposition. They owed us 30-odd percent and in April they offered zero,” he reconstructed.
The union leader pointed out that after the announcement of the strike, they were offered a 2% increase in April and another 7% in May , to be paid at the end of June. But that proposal is unsatisfactory for train drivers.

This Thursday, the La Fraternidad Union carries out the planned and unusual measure of force , due to the lack of agreement with the railway companies that depend on the national State. For this reason, the metropolitan train lines run at a maximum of 30 kilometers per hour.
The measure of force caused significant complications in the last few hours, including doubling the duration of the trip and transfers. The formations of the Roca, Belgrano Sur, San Martín, Mitre, Sarmiento and Tren de la Costa lines circulated this Thursday at a maximum of 30 km/h.
The scope of union action also impacts the speed and operation of the formations intended for the transfer of loads.
Through a press release issued yesterday, the union reported that the last hearing called by the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security did not have positive results, because they rejected the proposal offered by the business representatives.
“We are not willing to give away the salaries of the railway workers ,” the organization stated when ratifying that the “ Struggle Plan ” will continue its course, as long as there is no progress with the requested recomposition.
Although the railway conflict intensifies, the parties have already agreed with the Government to hold a new hearing on June 6 at 11 a.m., with the aim of reaching a conciliation.

Maturano was critical in his latest statements of the course adopted by the national State in the sector. In addition to the salary demand, the union member considered that “there is no investment or policy for the railway mode.” “We work without supplies, sometimes tying some objects with wire and that's how we leave with the trains,” he noted.
“We are in a trap because we do not know the economic plan,” Maturano pointed out. According to his analysis, he stated that the railway companies have the same budget as in 2023, which will end at the end of June. The payment of staff salaries depends on these expenditures. “They said they were going to give money to mend, not fix. “We are facing a disinvestment process,” he lamented.
Faced with this, according to the leader of La Fraternidad, there is added concern because “ we do not have any valid interlocutor .” “Officials change all the time and when they come down (to negotiate with the unions), they do so without orders,” he concluded.
