In a scenario marked by conflict with his unionlast November the Ancap Board had decided to denounce the collective agreement with the Ancap Federation (Fancap), which was valid until December 31, 2021.
The decision implied, among other points, that in December Ancap had no obligation to grant Christmas baskets to its officials. The denunciation of the agreement also meant that Ancap did not have to make an economic contribution to finance a Three Kings party that takes place every year. And he wasn’t supposed to deliver baskets of school supplies for his officials’ children as he traditionally does.
However, at the beginning of this month and with the purpose of “supporting the staff on the occasion of the start of classes” 2022, the company’s Board of Directors approved granting an item for that purpose.
The bonus will be in the amount of $1,200 for each dependent child or minor enrolled from the 4th level of initial education to the 4th level of secondary education or UTU. And it can be used for the acquisition of school supplies, high school and books.
According to the resolution, it is considered appropriate that the delivery be made in a “more flexible” modality than a basket “through a ticket, voucher or similar”, so that the choice of tools can be chosen according to the needs.
What are the conflict fronts that are open?
The Ancap Federation demands, among other points, for the entry of personnel, the confirmation of workers hired as permanent officials, “respect” for negotiation and collective agreements, and for the reopening of areas such as the dining rooms that were closed for health reasons to shortly after the pandemic began.
The union is also a staunch opponent of the comprehensive reform of the fuel market carried out by the Executive Branch. In particular, the new mechanism for fixing tariffs by Import Parity Price (PPI) included in the Urgent Consideration Law, which will be submitted to a referendum, is rejected. TOIn addition, it is required that the portland business continue under entirely state management and not with the incorporation of a private partner.
