The tire union conflict opens a crack in the guild map
The majority sector of the CGT and CTA distanced themselves from the conflict, led by Alejandro Crespo, a leftist-affiliated leader.
conflict leading United Tire Workers Union (Sutna) was opened An unexpected crack in the internal connection map. A crusade produces it Alexander Crespofighter Workers’ Party (PO) which is part of the class union, has received dozens of supports, some of them coming from classical and Peronist unionism, as it is Paul MoyanoThe Truckers’ number two and a member of the Command Triumvirate CGT.
Sutna is at the center of the conflict, which has been going on for several months. maintains Battle with Fate, Bridgestone and Pirelli for a 200% increase in additional pay for weekend work and a joint review for 2021 and a pay rise for 2022/23.. With no agreement in 34 hearings at the Ministry of Labour, the fight with the companies escalated and led to factory seizures and blockades and even a 24-hour occupation by the labor agency floor union.
Sutna listed all the endorsements she received in a statement. In addition to the sectional unions that share an affiliation with the left-wing union, the Truck Drivers Union (Moyano), the Oil Producers (Daniel Jofra), national ATE and autonomous CTA (Hugo Godoy) and to the delegates of the Buenos Aires Metro. They reported from the PO, who also joined the nation’s court workers union, of which he is a leader Julius Piumato.
On the brink of confrontation, however, without openly questioning the position of Crespo and his Sutna Army, the country’s two most important unions chose to stay out of the conflict. We are talking about CGT and CTA. Another branch of the CTA, the Autonomous, led by Godoy and Ricardo Pedro, defended the message of support.
The CGT even described yesterday’s statement as conciliatory, in favor of pre-conflict dialogue. A conversation took place between the CGT leadership and President Alberto Fernandez. The position of the majority sector of the CGT was another rosary of differences, which strained the union with Pablo Moyano, who threatened to leave the central. “We must exercise our rights peacefully, without striking, protesting or abdicating our right to protest. What you can’t do is break the rules,” he told her ღ Hierarchical representative of the CGT, who pointed out the “anarchic measures” of Sutna. In addition, the Union of Metallurgical Workers and SMATA, two unions whose activities have begun to be affected by the conflict due to the suspension in the automobile industry, yesterday refused to fight the meeting. Serge Massa, Minister of Economy, who threatened Enable import of tires.
Unlike the rest of his Tzegetista colleagues, Moyano supported him Curly. Sutna submitted a request to join the CGT by letter, but it was never considered. Crespo built bridges with Moyano, but despite this his application for admission did not prosper because the majority sector, which includes “Los Gordos” and “Independents”, rejects his incorporation.
on the CTA, which directs Hugo Yaski They remained silent until today, when at 16:30 Sutna issued a statement of solidarity for the “Boss Lockout”. In addition, Yaski, who is a deputy of Frente de Todos, questioned the mass about its intervention and the threat of opening up imports. He also objected Claudius Moroni. “The state, especially through the Ministry of Labour, should intervene in favor of the workers. Under no circumstances can it be placed on the side of multinational companies,” reads a fragment of the statement signed by Yaski and Communications Secretary Carlos Girot.
The delay in determining the CTA’s position is due more to an issue of ideological and internal power than to any difference in the way the claim is promoted. Crespo arrived in Sutna in 2018 after it was dissolved by a vote. Peter Wasieiko, who has been in charge for almost 17 years, was number two at CTA and today heads the Rio Santiago State Shipyard. Conflict also worries Robert Baradelwhose opposition in Suteba is driven by the militant left represented by Rominal del Plala, who supports Crespo.
Ahead of hearing No. 35, which will see the conflict resolved, Crespo showed support for the Brazilian tire union (Sintabor) and warned that the fight could escalate to a regional level. In a letter to Bridgestone, Sintabor urged the company’s global, regional and national management to “contribute Proposals clearly and objectively in negotiations“.
