Conaprole accuses the union of not telling the truth and points out two lies

Conaprole’s addressin an internal communication, addressed to the staff of the cooperative and to which he agreed The Observer, accused the Association of Workers and Employees of Conaprole (AOEC) for statements that “untrue”.

This happened at the close of this Monday the 8th, after a instance of bipartite negotiation that took place without a solution being reached in the union conflict that is taking place in the company.

The bipartisan considered the participation of the Chamber of the Dairy Industry of Uruguay (CILU) and the Federation of Workers of the Dairy Industry (FTIL).

On Friday the 5th, the union of workers programmed union measures that, given the aforementioned lack of agreement, will be activated from midnight on Tuesday 9.

In the statement it was pointed out that Conaprole invested in a new packaging machine for long-life milk in a box (UHT) and “simply intends to work as it is done around the world with this equipment.”

That, it was detailed, does not affect any job, it does not affect any labor rights to workers or violate any regulatory framework.

Conaprole claims that It is not true that the peace clause and conflict prevention mechanisms of the Dairy Industry Sector are not being appliedthat on the contrary, despite the fact that the UHT Sector is on strike, Conaprole maintained all the instances to which it has been summoned and is willing to maintain all areas of dialogue, since it is understood that this is the only way to reach agreements .

It is also stated in the statement that It is not true that they intended to impose changes in the hours of UHT workersbut rather, in order to contemplate the endowment proposed by the union, an alternative valid only for one week was raised, while all aspects related to the new bottling company continued to be negotiated.

“Unfortunately, It is true that, once again, the union leadership seeks to impose a logic of permanent conflict in an unjustified and irresponsible waycompromising the work of thousands of Uruguayans and the sustainability of the entire dairy chain,” concludes the statement to the staff, signed by the Conaprole management.
