By Ricardo Carpena
The national plenary session of the CATT hardened its position, but aligned itself with the CGT strategy against the Government
The national plenary session of the Confederation of Transport Workers (CATT) decided this afternoon to accompany the CGT agenda against the Government, so it will not take any forceful measures for the moment, but it will, among other actions, hold “assemblies”. " simultaneous scheduled in the work sectors" in the month of April, which, in practice, will end up complicating the normal service on trains, planes, subways, ships and cargo trucks.
After the meeting, which took place at the Federation of Taxi Workers, in Quintino Bocayuva 1274, a document was released in which the entity states that "Argentina needs a national transportation network that links it to the entire region and the world." efficiently and competitively", but warned that he is "concerned about the way in which the National Government simply intends to alienate the property of public companies and the entire legal architecture that supports national development."
“The simple privatization of companies is not a strategic objective in itself; The objective should be to organize and develop a Federal Intermodal Transportation System, promoting public and private investments that ensure the balance of each mode of transportation in the activities for which it has comparative and competitive advantages," said the confederation led by Sergio Sasia ( Unión Ferroviaria), which warned: “Without dialogue and trampling on the institutions of democracy and the republican division of powers, there is no consensus building.”
Furthermore, the CATT considered in the document that “the government of President Milei is giving clear signs that its objective, among others, is to deregulate the entire economy, threatening our industry and national employment with the indiscriminate opening of imports and that it also It comes to freeing prices and rates without a consumer protection framework, as well as modifying and/or repealing countless laws protecting employment, health, education, basic social and pension rights constitutionally enshrined.”
The CATT decided on an indirect way to protest in April through simultaneous assemblies throughout transportation
In another of its paragraphs, the transport union confederation criticized the Government for “moving forward with layoffs of workers from State organizations and companies, paralyzing in some cases even management, to thus justify the dissolution of structures.” And he added: “This same self-inflicted inefficiency also serves to advance the alienation and privatization of the State's assets without strategic objectives aimed at national development.”
Among the claims, the CATT demanded that the Government “respect the principle of free parities and that the homologation” of the salary agreements not be evaded or postponed; confirmed that it will fight against the restitution of the Income Tax and announced that it will present to the National Congress within the next 60 days a bill, prepared by its technical teams, in which they point to “planning, the need for investments, operation and control of the national transportation system.”
