the hard union dispute between the national leadership of the Teamsters union, which heads Hugo and Pablo Moyanowith the official branch of the guild in Santa Fe, in the hands of Serge Aladioacquired a new dimension following the broadcast of a call in which a prisoner communicates with an ally of the Moyano and offers him “Shoot shit” Aladio in exchange for “lower currency”.
In the message, which emerged from a legal judicial hearing and made known by THE NATIONa prisoner from the Piñero prison calls Juan Mateo Chulich to offer to make an attempt on Aladio’s life. “Hello, your number was given to me by Seba Camaño. We are the ones who set fire to Aladio’s union. Now you want us to shoot it down? You have to lower the coin friend, lower the coin and we’ll shoot it to the touch, ”says the prisoner, who was not identified, during a conversation dated September 20, 2021.
The issue is very serious, even more so if one takes into account that in the Santa Fe Province Union an attempt was made on the life of a former general secretary, Abel Beroiz, who was assassinated by order and its perpetrators, both material and ideological, are found today condemned.
With the encouragement of the Moyanos, Chulich created an alternative union to Aladio’s in Santa Fe. In a gesture to bring positions closer to the truck driver, the government of Alberto Fernández gave legal recognition to the new structure in January 2020, through the registration granted by the Ministry of Labor commanded by Claudio Moroni. Far from being institutionalized, since then the dispute has not stopped growing: the headquarters of the Aladio Truckers suffered more than one attack and the leader denounced threats to his affiliates so that they leave their structure and move to Chulich’s.
The prisoner who communicates with Chulich presents himself as the author of a fire at the Aladio union headquarters, although the dates would not coincide with the attack denounced by the Moyano’s rival, which occurred in 2017. Throughout the conversation with the prisoner, Chulich hardly intervenes, although in the end he affirms: “Ready, ready”.
Chulich: -Hello
Prisoner: -Hello, Juan?
Chulich: -Yes, who is speaking?
Prisoner: – Cuchá, your number was given to me by Seba Camaño.
Chulich: -Yes, who, who is speaking?
Prisoner: -Cuchame. We are the ones who set fire to Aladio’s union. Now you want us to shoot it down? You have to lower the coin friend, lower the coin and we’ll shoot it to the touch… like last time, you know that you lower the coin and we do it on the touch.
Chulich: -But.
Prisoner: -Then speak… We communicate well, lower the coin and we do what you want, as always.
Chulich: -Listo, listo.
The Santa Fe branch is one of the few that Moyano does not control in the country. There he commands Aladio, who is just as tough as his rivals when it comes to joint negotiations and who does not measure himself when applying the policy of the stick when negotiations do not advance. In addition, the santafesino seeks to project the figure of him to the interior of the country. But behind this political struggle, what is at stake are union resources: in 2016, following an assembly of its members, the Union of Truck Drivers, Workers and Employees of Automotive Transport of Freight Logistics and Services of the Province of Santa Fe , led by Aladio, disaffiliated from the National Federation led by Moyano, who has since lost the contributions of the voluminous Santa Fe fund.
Until then, we must trace the genesis of the Union of Truck Drivers, Workers and Freight Transport and Logistics employees of the province of Santa Fe, led by Chulich, recognized in 2020 by the government of Alberto Fernández. Since then, Aladio denounces that his affiliates suffer pressure and threats to join the other union structure.
It was within the framework of the complaint of one of the members of the Aladio guild that the Justice with seat in Venado Tuerto decided to intervene Chulich’s telephone: there the prisoner’s call was discovered. The wiretaps were carried out by the Criminal Investigation Agency and the prosecutor Iván Raposo.
Raposo charged Chulich and his son Lucas, who heads the union in Venado Tuerto, with coercive threats. But the accusation is limited to the coercion denounced in June by a member of Aladio’s guild. On the other hand, the investigation into the prisoner’s call to Chulich and the potential attack once morest Aladio reportedly made no progress, even following he was summoned to testify.

In his dispute with the Moyano, Aladio was with Hector Daer (Health) referent of the “Gordos” in the leadership of the CGT, who also rival the Moyano.
At the beginning of the year, Aladio agreed with the business chambers an extraordinary bonus of $500,000 for drivers carrying oxygen. The benefit is in recognition of the tasks they provided during the peak of the pandemic due to the advancement of the coronavirus. But the Santafesino leader did not miss the opportunity to expose his differences with the Moyano.
“Not only is it an important sum, but also, it must be taken into account that these workers will be benefited monthly with values that exceed the Collective Labor Agreement,” he then highlighted in statements to the Santa Fe media, to mark the contrast with the Federation. of Truckers. “It is something very important for our activity and above all for ratify that from the inside you can negotiate and give benefits to the workers”, emphasized Aladio.
