The mayor of Tigre, Julio Zamora, faces an outpost of macrismo in the Deliberative Council.
The storm for the incorporation to permanent plant of workers of the municipality of Tigre foreshadows what Together will promote if it reaches the Casa Rosada. the intendant Julius Zamora signed a collective bargaining agreement with the unions in 2021 in which it was agreed to incorporate workers with more than one year of seniority into permanent silver. It would be in two batches, half in 2022 and the other half in 2023. When the budget was discussed, Together managed to insert a clause that hindered what was signed, placing limits on the incorporation to a permanent plant. The objective, in fact, was to continue renewing and renewing precarious contracts. Zamora vetoed the limitation of Together – the only veto of his management -, but now the macrismo explicitly presents a motion to insist on its attack once morest the collective agreement.
The agreement signed with the unions in April 2021 included ways to avoid conflicts and a gender perspective. It was approved by the Ministry of Labor a few days later and in July 2021 it was taken to the Deliberative Council where it was unanimously approved. “They ask for legal stability when it comes to ensuring foreign investments -said Zamora–, but when it comes to the rights of minorities and workers, their pulse does not tremble to erase with the elbow what they recently legislated and they approved. This attempt to advance on labor rights reminds me of a stage in Argentina where neoliberal ideas tried to undermine gains achieved in years of struggle, blood and suffering.
Those who presented the project once morest the signed agreement are four councilors from Together who hardly achieve the necessary majority. But it exhibits the underlying policy of the macrismo and what they would promote if they accede to any of the executive powers, whether national, provincial or municipal.
