The surprise strike by sections began for the workers of Navios (from 6 a.m.), TGU (from 4 a.m.), Nobleza Naviera (from 7 a.m.) and Rioestiba (from 0 a.m.), and therefore it stopped the soybean movement.
The unionized workers of the National Ports Administration (ANP) would adhere to the measure in a time to be set, as members of Supra informed EL ECO.
The government granted port operations in Montevideo to the firm Katoen Natie for 50 years and therefore Montecom was left with little work in the movement of containers and determined that at the end of the month it will lay off 150 workers, while lowering 50% the salary. The Ministry of Labor responded that 77 workers who are laid off would be absorbed by Katoen Natie, but the union’s decision is to ensure work for the 150 who will be fired, we all want to “keep our sources of work” and “salary” .
The Supra, Nueva Palmira subsidiary, told EL ECO that for now for 24 hours and in an assembly it will be resolved what measures will continue to be taken.
