The Government questioned the bus stoppage: "We find it horrifying."
In a new day characterized by complications for traveling, as a result of the bus strike in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires , the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, pointed out against unionism, stating that "they use intimidation and complicate life for the people”, and stated that the Government finds it “horrible”.
The spokesperson began his usual press conference that he gives at the Casa Rosada by talking about the retention of tasks carried out by drivers affiliated with the UTA and ratified the Government's position regarding union conflicts.
“Today, four million people are unable to go to work, undergo medical studies, go to hospitals, and study. So, once again, I remind you that we Argentines are faced with two paths: one is that of freedom, which is ultimately what the people chose when they voted for President Milei, and the other is what we are seeing today, those "They use intimidation and complicate people's lives," he noted.
Adorni assured that, so far this year, the Government has suffered four threats of strikes and two transportation strikes that were carried out, and clarified that "the national State is complying with each of the disbursements of subsidies in the AMBA and already covered the costs of the sector.” In any case, he said that “the parties are going to meet to resolve this horrible situation,” referring to the meeting called by the Ministry of Labor for 12:30.

“ Unemployment seems horrifying to us and the person who needs the service always ends up paying. I can't do future research on what happens at the meeting. What I did say is that effectively with the transfers that correspond to the national State, we have always done them in a timely manner and we understand that the cost is covered,” Adorni added.
What depends on whether the bus strike continues
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.
The problem is that the business chambers, they say, do not receive from the government this month the subsidies to pay said sum since they maintain that their calculation is made on the approved parity which is $737,000 and that for March there is nothing signed , just a basis for negotiation.
Faced with the conflict, the Government called the business chambers and the UTA to a meeting that will be held at 12:30 to negotiate a solution.
