The official bank is mobilized and today it strikes in Montevideo offices
An end of the year with a lot of mobilization at the AEBU Official Banking sector with a series of demands, some old, that are on the table.
Apart from the strike and mobilization that will take place today in the country’s capital, a meeting is also planned at the Executive Tower.
From the union’s Corriente Coordinación para el Cambio they are not very optimistic about the results of this meeting, details of which will be known in an assembly scheduled for Friday, January 9.
“We are coming to a fairly busy end of the year, as a result of the process that had begun in September-August of this year to discuss the collective agreement reached its conclusion, at least this first stage, in which the majority of the Council, which responds to Articulation, brought to the Assembly’s consideration a pre-agreement signed with the Government” counted Alvaro Legaspy to THE DIARY PROFESSIONAL.
This instance was held on December 6. There, an interim quarter was voted for a new call within a period of 10 days, which finally took place on December 18. “An Assembly was held at the El Galpón Theater that did have a quorum – 1,500 participants – with a hybrid modality, that is, colleagues from other departments or from Montevideo itself were also enabled to connect through a platform” he explained.
“On that occasion, the Assembly rejected the collective agreement as insufficient and ordered the Council to reopen the negotiation” reported.This meeting is scheduled for today, Tuesday, December 30. It will be done within the framework of a strike that will begin at hour 9 in the official banks of Montevideo exclusively. “The objective of the mobilization is to accompany the delegation, not to hinder the operation” he remarked.
The Council will then analyze the results of the meeting and a meeting of Delegates at the national level is already scheduled for January 9 to evaluate the results of this meeting and define the steps to follow. “From our Current we think that there will be no big news, but from there the mechanisms and resolutions of the Assembly will be triggered” Legaspy said.
“The connection or affinity that exists between the majority of the Trade Union Movement and the Executive Branch is no stranger to anyone, which is why we believe that the directive they had was not to give anything at all” he opined. “I hope I’m wrong” he added.
“If necessary, the path of mobilization will be followed as our union, the Official Bank, has traveled so many times.” he stressed.
The leader of Coordination for Change revealed that among the 4 official banks, 1,000 Million Dollars of profits were generated.
THE MAIN CLAIMS
“The Assembly justified its refusal, especially in the salary part, where non-loss is not guaranteed, the issue of vacancies which is very important because there is competitiveness and the generation of jobs, also the situation of the ANV workers who are still not included in the collective agreement and, fundamentally, the rest for the workers of the Insurance Bank” he detailed.“This pre-agreement that had been signed brought harm to our colleagues in the interior. We had already raised the issue of decentralizing positions so that workers in the interior could access positions in the Central Office and work from the dependency. Future employees would be deprived of 5 days of leave and the transfer protocol that “It is from the year 2020 that guaranteed the horizontal mobility of workers would be suspended because the BROU Administration claimed that it had difficulties in operating due to mobility, this always to the detriment of colleagues.” commented Álvaro Legaspy.
