The Union Association of Subway and Premetro Workers (Agtsyp) will release the turnstiles on line E and the Premetro this Friday, and will interrupt those services for an hour before “the refusal of the concessionaire Emova to agree to reduce the working week so that the staff has two francs” and also due to “the lack of employees in all sectors”.
A document signed by the general and deputy secretaries of the union, Roberto Pianelli and Néstor Segovia, explained that the turnstiles of line E and the Premetro will be released between 13 and 14, and that services will then be interrupted from 14 to 15.
“The concessionaire refuses to reduce the working week so that the workers have two francs; there is a lack of personnel in all sectors and also an inexplicable delay by the Buenos Aires government to acquire a new fleet to replace the trains with asbestos material, for which the forceful measures will continue tomorrow -for today-, they maintained yesterday in the text .
The turnstiles will be released for one hour at the Plaza de los Virreyes station on line E, while between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. that service and that of the Premetro will be interrupted.
The trade unionists called on the employers to “reflect” to modify their actions, which harm users and workers, and apologized to those affected by “a self-defense measure in pursuit of rights and safety.”
