Next Tuesday, February 25, an announced march of bank employees will take place along Gorlero Avenue, in the center of Punta del Este, which has been baptized as “the march of resistance”, and summons the Trade Union Coordinating Table of Entes, the National Organization of Retirees and Pensioners Associations of Uruguay, and the Uruguayan Federation of Mutual Aid Housing Cooperatives.
Although they said that it will be a brief demonstration on the aforementioned street, it is part of the forceful measures that the members of the Association of Bank Employees of Uruguay (AEBU) have been carrying out, but the mayor of Maldonado, Enrique Antía, sees it with others eyes.
For the head of the Fernandina commune, this mobilization is “a trade union movement against the LUC”, and he believes the same as the great general strike that the PIT-CNT plans for next March 8.
For Antía, it should be considered that “people have been out of work for two years” and that they are just “beginning to work their daily wages”. in conversation with FM Peoplestated that those who do not risk anything come to the march (alluding to AEBU members), because they have “little silver in their pockets with much higher salaries” than other employees such as those in the gastronomic sector, for example.
