The protest began this Friday morning.
The staff of the Buquebus company enrolled in the United Maritime Workers Union (SOMU) protest from this noon and prevented the entry of passengers to the terminal of that company in Buenos Aires, in demand of the fulfillment of several guild demands.
Workers They began the protest in rejection of suspensions, non-compliance with the collective labor agreement and signed agreements and the non-payment of salary differences, according to the spokespersons of the personnel in conflict.
The protest is led by the secretary general of SOMU himself, Raul Durdos, who appeared at the Buquebus terminal and, from early on, spoke with the security forces to prevent their intervention and ensure “tranquility and calm.”
The co-owner of the CGT, Pablo Moyano expressed his solidarity this followingnoon in a video with the workers and maintained that “the workers’ union is and will be with the maritime personnel and any other union in conflict, because that was the commitment made on November 11 at Parque Norte when the new board of directors took office”.
Moyano repudiated the president of Buquebus, Juan Carlos López Mena, and maintained that for years it has failed to comply with the collective bargaining agreement and other agreements signed with the maritime union, and does not pay the salary differences either.
“The CGT is and will be present in every conflict,” said Moyano, who pointed out that for years the Argentine businessman “punishes the workers”. SOMU is affiliated with the Maritime, Port and Naval Industry Federation (Fempinra), led by Juan Carlos Schmid and Raúl Huerta.
