Calcar sends 54 workers from the Carmelo plant to unemployment insurance

The Calcar Cooperative sent 54 workers from the Carmelo plant to unemployment insurance for four months. The decision will take effect next week. This occurs in the midst of a major crisis that a sector of the dairy industry is going through. Before the end of the year, the Fund for the Reconversion of Dairy Industries (FRIL) was approved in Parliament. It has two sub-funds: Industrial Competitiveness, which is being regulated, and Stability.

The first is for those companies that receive 50 million liters of milk, or less, and some credit restrictions. In this way, the fund, which has 12 million dollars, will serve companies as a guarantee to request credits. Those industries that want to access it will have to present a project that will be evaluated by a commission that will be made up of four ministries: Industry, Livestock, Labor and Economy, together with Inale.

Calcar is precisely one of the companies that is most committed. The union of the cooperative informed in a that this decision will produce a “majority stoppage” in production at the plant.

Along the same lines, they maintain that from Wednesday “different meetings will be coordinated with both the company and the Federation of Dairy Industry Workers, for the purpose of seeking alternatives to mitigate this impact, be these some momentary transfers and insurance rotations between others possible”.

“A follow-up scope would be resumed between the company, the union, the federation and the Cuesta Duarte Institute, incorporating as a work input the reconversion project and assistance to the cheese industries with the task of analyzing in this period of the search, with all the possible means, a project that allows us to continue as today with the two plants producing,” the union stated. This Thursday a union assembly will be held at the Carmelo plant “to inform the workers in detail.”
