In Plaza Constitution, the Coleme Union installed a tent with the aim of informing about the conflict
With the aim of making the conflict visible, a member of the Union of Workers and Employees of the local dairy industry installed a tent in the Constitution Square of the City of Melo.
It is one of the measures taken by the FTIL Plenary gathered on Monday in the esplanade that is in front of the school plant.
This tent will remain in this public space throughout the day so far that a caravan began towards the capital of the country.
“After the plenary of our Federation it was resolved to install the tent here in the Constitution Square. We will be every day from 9 in the morning until half past 8 at night because it is the schedule authorized by the Head of Public Spaces of the Intendance ” explained Pablo Jorge At a press conference.
“The objective of the tent is to inform all the neighbors who want to know first hand the reality of Coleme. We even have photographic documents that support what workers are saying and denouncing. From the cooperative they say that today it is working on its fullness and we maintain that having less production because milk is being derived towards the talar generally on Wednesdays, as well as the poor care that is being given to the infrastructure of the plant. When we go to the press we have arguments ” The president of UOEC remarked.
“We will be here until February 17. On Tuesday 18 we are going to leave early in Caravana to Montevideo. It will be two days in which we will stop in each town because the idea is that we receive the partners of each intersindical ” reported. “Each populated center will cross it walking to generate a greater impact” He added.
In this way, the union seeks to show the reality of 19 families that have run out of their source of income. “It is no accident that 16 are affiliated with our union” accurate.
“In the last hours the cooperative issued a press release by supporting the Plant Chief. We continue to claim the statements of our union, as well as we believe the complaints that our colleagues made ” He stressed. “The complaint is made in the Ministry of Labor for Persecution. Arguments we have, we always have. The cooperative goes out to defend the indefensible. The union of a verbal aggression was blamed for the classmates who are working when they went out. What we did was applause. We did not stop or break into the travel. It was applause to colleagues who left in protest because, based on the fact that 19 families are on the street, many continue to work. You have to have some empathy. Our union has always defended the labor source and today we become the bad ones of the film when at the time we denounce many of the things that are happening ” Jorge recalled.
“We see that with this action it is what you are doing is dynamiting the bridges. The same daily sale continues to fall. Since February 1, the distribution took a company that sometimes have no idea of the logistics to be developed. We are also going to investigate that company. We have already done the corresponding inquiries on itself, it is contributing, it is legal. That task is in charge of our federation and our advisors ” said.
“They are a series of fighting measures that we are going to carry out to the reimbursement of the classmates because we believe that we are living” is totally unfair. ” He ended by saying Pablo Jorge, president of UOEC.
