Cardozo stressed that A very positive primary evaluation was made of the mobilization that took place in the city of Durazno and of the strike in industrial complexes throughout the country.
“We are a very decentralized union, with workers throughout the country, we do not have, as in the case of other unions, the entire mass of workers in Montevideo, which makes it easier to bring people together, it also costs a lot of money to mobilize and considering all that without Doubts was a very strong mobilization, we managed to spread the problem and even, although it was not planned, that the mayor of Durazno received us, “he said.
