In this movement carried out by the union in “various points of the country”, this Friday the 2nd is in Nueva Palmira “with a flyer” to make its claim known at the level of the sector and the population.
“For about 12 years we have been vindicating the schedule control system in the cargo transport sector, Sitrac, which was suspended when this government took office. This system is to regularize the sector, there is an hourly charge for colleagues that is not paid, and in turn, there is tax evasion for the BPS and DGI”, said Fernández.
“The drivers in this case are the first to be affected, but it does not mean that society as a whole is also affected, because it is an evasion of BPS. We are talking about a country context, in which today there is a pension reform due to lack of budget, and there are several cuts in Health, in Education, and here we are letting 500 million dollars a year evade”, he emphasized
Those who benefit the most today “is not the transport company, but the shippers, the big capital, who are the ones who set the price for the freight, which, since there is no schedule control system, there is no regularized rate, therefore, the transport employer competes with the other companies with the salary of the workers”, he indicated.
Assembly by Batis
On the other hand, at noon this Friday, they were going to hold “an assembly with the colleagues of the Batis company who perform tasks in the port.” The reason is due to the fact that “some shifts in the schedules of the days were made, and although the base agreed at the time, later, carried out, inconveniences were visualized.”
Although “there is no conflict, we decided to have an assembly to find a way to coordinate what to propose to the company,” said Fernández.
claim
Below, we transcribe the text of the flyers delivered by the Sutcra:
While Health and Education are cut, the cargo transport sector evades 500 million dollars a year.
The government proposes reforms that:
They cut the education budget.
They cut pensions and retirements.
They cut drugs in public health.
They cut wages.
They cut your rights in the negotiation.
– The evasion of contributions by the Cargo Transportation Companies generates a lack of controls and due to this we suffer accidents that cause more than 100 deaths a year.
The victims are not only transport workers, the risk in accidents is borne by all of society.
With the annual employer evasion in cargo transportation, a state-of-the-art hospital could be built every 6 months, 40 rural schools a year.
– Invest in the BPS box so as not to cut retirement or pensions.
It becomes clear to you who rules.
