SMEs and industrial unions met this Thursday, July 6, to begin preparing a document for candidates who pass the next PASO 2023. In this sense, the journalist from Editorial Profile, Ariel Maciel detailed to this outlet that “Abel Furlán, the UOM Secretary General” was present at the eventand that “these sectors are going to assemble, through a discussion table that will culminate in a congress, a document that will reach all the candidates for president who pass the primaries”.
“The concern they have is the loss of purchasing power,” explained the interviewee. He then added: “In that meeting Furlán said: “We do not want to be representatives of the working poor”, in reference to industrialists from all sectors”.
“The collective strike that was launched is linked to this, because the companies do not want to give the increase that the Government tried to impose“. “The Government wants to have better conditions with the workers, while the companies say: “It is not so that we have enormous profitability, and that inflation is because we earn a lot“Therein lies the discussion.”
In this sense, Maciel explained that there is tension on the part of different sectors to modify the economic model of Argentina, because “hthere is a stagnation of economic activity“and this is added that”Today, industrial work no longer guarantees that there will be workers above the poverty line”.
While, according to the interviewee, on the side of the companies there is a concern that has to do with informal work and the competition that is generated once morest those who comply with the hiring rules and must face the costs of employing white people.
On the other hand, both trade unionists and businessmen see the rapprochement between Mercosur and the European Union as “a fact that worries, because they believe that it can generate an impact with SMEs and local industry,” said the journalist.
“If there is no social agreement, the situation can become very dangerous, I am not saying it, the analyzes carried out by the companies themselves say it,” Maciel concluded.
