Claim for the situation in Coleme arrives today to the capital
As planned, the caravan of the Federation of Workers of the Dairy Industry in support of the Operators dismissed and sent to unemployment insurance at the Coleme cooperative was departed on Wednesday.
To this claim, which will be felt facing the headquarters of the Executive Power through a partial general strike called by the Pit CNT, similar situations are added in other industries of the country.
“In the morning of today the act will not only be held but also the installation of the tent in defense of jobs and in defense of real development policies in the face of this situation that has been aggravated” said Enrique Méndez.
“There is a huge dilatory since November 28, waiting with our colleagues from Coleme, a solution for jobs, colleagues who are charging crumbs and now the beginning of classes, the payment of invoices that never He stopped and the issues that any family has to resolve, which by an extremely fucked action, of a business management that made an extremely anti -union decision ” held. “Of 19 workers who have not continued in their jobs, 16 are affiliated with the union. Of the 3 non -unionized, 2 would have requested their dismissal and the third has been working in black in the new outstanding distribution they did. It is a clear measure to break the union ” The President of the FTIL insisted.
They ask for action of three ministries
He regretted that all “The actors” With which he has dialogued, although they have been right for the union, they have not acted in the expected way. “We have not had a government response. Here there are three fundamental actors that are the ones in charge of the regulatory commission of reconversion funds of the dairy industry that are the ministries of industry, labor and livestock ” He pointed out. “The three are the ones who grant, with a law that they generated in this same period of government, and that at the same time they are the ones who should exercise control.” He said at a press conference before the caravan departure. “Yes, we did not report the situation of Coleme, there was a ignorance of what was happening in the cooperative and that the fund was not applying in what had to be applied, but workers were saying goodbye to workers” Méndez said.
Edil Magallanes closely follows the subject
Since the conflict in the dairy industry of Cerro Largo was unleashed, the departmental legislator of the National Party has repeatedly raised the issue in the field of the Board.
He even promoted meetings with workers, but also with the managers of the Cooperative.
“By invitation of Pablo Jorge and several acquaintances who worked in Coleme, we are supporting from our humble place. In the Board we have also received the Coleme authorities, the managers, and we have also gone several times to talks with the workers or former workers ” express Fabián Magallanes.
“Difficult situation, sad situation that has to live. Be the company that one is, it is never cute for workers to be on the road ” He added.
“We take this as neighbors of Cerro Largo, first of all. It bothers us that it has been contributed from the State so that the company was subsidized and will be workers along the way ” He stressed. “Here in this department it is not easy to get a job and much less yes the person is 40 or 50 years old” said. “They are very difficult. They can tell me that they will collect the dismissal, but then what do they do? Silver ends and are thrown away. That really appeales ” held.
The mayor Magallanes promised to continue keeping the issue alive at the level of the departmental legislature. “We have chatted with those we have been able to chat, we have even made our own analysis. We believe that this is already determined, the workers are not going to be resumed, that is so. That is why I celebrate all this move at times that are leaving for Montevideo because I think the claim they are making is genuine. Of course we will continue to accompany them ” assured.
