Franco Mogetta , Secretary of Transportation of the Nation, stated that his area, together with the National Transportation Regulation Commission (CNRT) are carrying out controls and applying sanctions to companies that are not providing services.
“ They are not taking any measures to restore service .” They have to notify the workers to show up for work and apply the sanction to those who do not show up, like any worker who does not comply with their tasks. They do not have to have any type of privileges, otherwise, we are financing their strikes,” Mogetta noted.
In statements to TN , the official warned that they are “ complying with the law and with the obligation to users,” and advanced the decision to apply sanctions beyond fines : “We are urging them to restore the transportation service, and those who "If they do not comply with their obligations, their permits will be affected and it will be provided by companies that are willing to provide the services."
In fact, the CNRT reported that they have already started the legal process to apply sanctions of more than 4 million pesos to companies that are not providing the service.
Mogetta insisted on his position and said that “ the workers who are not providing tasks today have to have the same consequence as those who miss a day from their jobs,” and although he clarified that “that is for the companies to decide,” he ratified the decision. to sanction the companies.
“We are with the CNRT carrying out the pertinent controls, and where we detect that companies do not comply with the service, they are being sanctioned with fines and if the situation continues over time, we will move forward with the authorizations they have to provide the service. We cannot fire workers, but we can fire companies. We will go to the last consequences ”, He highlighted.

The strike has been in effect since the early hours of this Thursday in most of the AMBA bus lines due to the lack of payment of 250 thousand pesos demanded by the UTA, as part of the joint agreement signed in February, something that the companies reject.
Mogetta agreed with that position, who on several occasions assured that the measure of force is illegitimate. “Those 250 thousand pesos that the union is demanding as part of the basic salary have not been agreed upon in the minutes of February 2 and, therefore, have not been approved. That is not required today. That there is an expectation is something totally different, but it does not give them the right to withhold tasks. Therefore this is an extortionate strike in a situation that the country is going through.”
After confirming that the Government complied with the corresponding subsidies, he explained that there is no possibility of sending more funds since the amounts sent are calculated based on the closed February parity. “We don't even have the possibility of analyzing an increase,” he said. In addition, he separated the secretariat from him with the negotiation carried out by the Ministry of Labor.
This Thursday, bus drivers began a “withholding of tasks” until an increase of $250,000 that they have been demanding is deposited in their bank accounts. The measure creates complications for traveling and collapses other alternative transportation routes used by workers. Only around 70 lines operate.
According to what has emerged so far, the Government's intention is not to dictate mandatory conciliation but rather to have “a rapprochement between the parties.”
The union that groups the drivers indicated before the interruption of services occurred that they could be restored if the salary increase that initiated the claim is paid. They ask that the minimum wage be respected, which would be $987,000 - before it was 737,000 and they were paid a non-remunerative figure of $250,000 - and which the business sector maintains that they cannot afford.
In a meeting they had at the Ministry of Transportation, the businessmen received information from area officials that there will be no “reinforcement” of budget items , so, according to their numbers, they will not have the back to pay the increase. of almost 35% that the union demands for the drivers' salaries, which were deposited on Monday of this week.
At 250,000 pesos away, the main node of the conflict between the union and the companies appears. The UTA demands that the non-remunerative sum paid in February be incorporated into the March base.
