Awaiting a new meeting to resolve the union conflict raging in the tire industry, Fortune owner, Javier Madanes Quintanillaconfirmed today that if the United Tire Workers of Argentina (SUTNA) accepted the offers made by the main firms in the sector over the past few months, The average operator can earn a salary of “around $400,000” in early October.

Consulted grid About the current negotiation, the businessman noted that The same is found “Stopped in the same place five months ago”. “There’s not much progress or regress, other than terribly unfortunate things happening like the blockade, the takeover of the Ministry of Labor and fundamentally the problem of working people not getting paid and consumers.” Does it make it difficult to get the product,” he said.

After that he claimed: “Some of us speak Aramaic and some of us speak Jeringoso. It is very difficult to communicate this way. Companies claim to be an average operator – those who work in one of the most common production lines of the production process – could collect if all bids were accepted that companies did $400,000 as of October 1”. However, he insisted on it The union claims those values ​​are between $120,000 and $130,000.

“Mathematics has a pure logic. Clearly, there is an error in the analysis of one or both sides. I don’t think it’s an impossible task to sit down and analyze it and be able to give the workers a general idea of ​​where we really are. I think this This is a topic of work and healthy debate, without scandals.”he thought.

In the latest of 35 meetings held between the government, Sutna and major tire companies, Madanes Quintanilla revealed: “Yesterday they were 5 or 6 o’clock with the authorities of the Ministry of Labor without any dialogue between the parties. There were companies on one floor, and workers on the other.”

Faced with this lack of communication, he commented: “This topic, where the gaps in interpretation where we stand are so wide – some believe the compensation offered is $400,000, others $120,000 or $130,000 – is not so strange. can find out. It seems to me that we have come to an absolute lack of dialogue before the debate, and I think we need to overcome that.. There we will see the logic, where it is and how it is explained to workers and users. This is where the solution will come from. Let’s get down to business, that’s all I’m suggesting. We are doing enough damage to workers and consumers.”

Finally, it ratified after announcing the cessation of activities fate in agreement Bridgestone i Pirelli, “Not a single coating is produced in any factory”. And when asked how long this situation can last, he answered: “It depends on each company, but we We will bring to the last drop of blood. We are not going to gamble away 80 years of activity in the Argentine market like this.”

Finally, he pointed out that apart from “some tire reserves and some pockets of stock”, the reality is that “there are A huge deficit Accordingly price increase which is already entering the land of nonsense”. “Today we have prices on the street, in some cases double the value that the product should have”he concluded.
