The Extraordinary National Congress of the CGT approved this Thursday the reform of the Statute to incorporate 30 percent of women, created new secretariats and unfolded others to comply with the requirements established in the Female Quota Law.
As of this Thursday, in each secretariat there will be a man and a woman, the union sources pointed out to Télam, while the 1,330 national congressmen accredited from 151 union organizations went to an intermediate room, after which the Ordinary National Congress will begin to elect the new leadership for four years.
According to the Commission of Powers of Congress, which has already issued its dispatch, 1,330 congressmen participate in the national meeting of Parque Norte, which represents 78 percent of the total delegates, and affirmed that there is a sufficient quorum and that the participants represent 151 guilds out of a total of 215 Confederate unions.
The statutory reform implied that incorporates “language and gender perspective” and that each secretariat from now on is occupied by a man and a woman.
However, some union sources assured that this statutory reform “It is a first step, important but nothing more, because it is not too deep.”
Other union spokesmen also assured that the Extraordinary Congress, in addition to creating four new secretariats, determined the doubling of five and not four, since the Division of Statistics and Registration and Consumer Defense was added, which until today was in charge of the union organization of the porters.
In that way, eAmong new secretariats and the unfolding of others, the new board of directors will be made up of 35 positions, the spokespersons confirmed to this agency.
In the Powers Commission, the Banking Association (AB) was represented by the head of the Buenos Aires section of the union, Alejandra Estoup and Natalia Gacoi.
Meanwhile, the leaders of the various sectors of the labor movement continue to negotiate the final details of the integration of the list that the CGT will lead for the next four years, union spokesmen informed Télam.
According to all sources, the arduous negotiations continue, since there is no agreement regarding the distribution of positions and the leaders who would occupy them.
