The Route 22 was closed in Neuquén, at the height of Anaya street, in front of the Social Development headquarters. It was a demonstration of the workers of the Undersecretary of Family grouped in ATE. They denounce that the facilities where they serve vulnerable populations are not in conditions and that they were warned that will suffer discounts if they maintain the measures of force. Minutes following noon they lifted the cut, but they assure to return to the same place tomorrow Wednesday “despite the discount threats.”
Natalia Pincheira, the workers’ delegate, was the one who confirmed that following an assembly it was agreed to continue the measure and “strengthen the pressure” this Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. on Route 22 and Anaya Street. She pointed out that it is not the only measure they took to make their claims, but that cutting the route was the last alternative they agreed to in order to obtain the answers they need.
“The Province’s budget goes to the campaign,” questioned Natalia Pincheira, workers’ delegate. She described that there are devices where not only staff are lacking, but also services such as water, electricity and gas supply. She also warned regarding short circuits and gas leaks, which make spaces dangerous. In addition, she assured that there were some evictions.
The leader recalled that they work with the disabled population, the elderly and linked to law 2302 on child protection and law 2785 on family violence.
For this panorama, he explained, from regarding 20 days ago they began measures of force until this Tuesday they were notified regarding discounts, if they persisted with the protests. They considered that it was “threats of salary discounts issued by Minister Germán Chapino through the provincial director of HR Verónica Kalbermaten».
At noon they plan to hold an assembly to define what the steps to follow will be.
