As a result of the disaffiliations, SMATA threatens Autosur with denouncing them for union disloyalty. Assembling opinions

The manager of YPF Río Grande, Charly Man, explained in great detail what is happening between the service station workers who disaffiliated, SMATA and SOESG and PE, the stationers' union that some employees want to join.

As Charly Man explained, 19 employees resigned and not 70, the agreement that is applied is not homologated with salary scale, nor does it participate in parity. Agreement 79/89 Smata Adess (today COCOS firm recognized as successor in Oct/19 by the Ministry work) The clothes were delivered on time (even though we had problems with the clothing factories, because they were closed due to COVID), in the stations that suffer the most from the weather, we give them thermal underwear. If you put “fuel operators chamber del sur” , you will find it on Google The scale that you have on the page corresponds to FECOBA (province of Buenos Aires) agreement 488/07 The scale that Soegype has in Patagonia is only in Rio Negro and Neuquén the 465/06, not yet signed parity and still does not have a salary scale for these months.

The manager of Autosur maintained in dialogue with this medium that only 19 telegrams arrived and as a result of that SMATA threatens the company with a complaint for union disloyalty. but Law 23,551 does not provide for this.

The text of the rule is clear regarding the rights of workers with respect to LAW 23551 LAW OF TRADE UNION ASSOCIATIONS PRELIMINARY STATEMENT Of the protection of freedom of association Article 1st. – Freedom of association will be guaranteed by all the rules that refer to the organization and action of trade union associations. Art. 2nd. – Associations whose purpose is to defend the interests of workers shall be governed by this law. Art. 3rd. -It is understood in the interest of the workers everything that is related to their living and working conditions. Union action will contribute to removing the obstacles that hinder the full realization of the worker. Art. 4th. – Workers have the following trade union rights: a) Build freely and without the need for prior authorization, trade union associations. b) Join those already established, not join or disaffiliate. c) Meet and carry out trade union activities. d) Petition before the authorities and employers. e) Participate in the internal life of trade union associations, freely elect their representatives, be elected and nominate candidates.

When asked what the steps to follow are, he announced that “Oyarzún is going to make a presentation at the Ministry of Labor, which is what we ask of him. He appeared here two years ago requesting that the company go to SOESG and PE to which we replied that he go to the Ministry of Labor and make the presentation of the employees. Oyarzun argues that the agreement is not the one that corresponds, that it is the one that has the southern zone of Buenos Aires, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego. the agreement 488/07 is from FECOBA, which brings together the service stations of the province of Buenos Aires, the agreement it has in Patagonia is in Neuquén and Rio Negro is 456/06 and does not have a salary scale, nor parity.

Finally, and regarding the salary scale that the representative of SOESG and PE in Tierra del Fuego sent to the workers who disaffiliated from SMATA, Charly Man maintained that "they are seeing them, a service station with salaries of 90 thousand pesos is unfeasible, It does not work, there is no way, in this he is lying. SMATA has had service stations since 1982 when our company joined this guild, before it was SMATA FATRA, it doesn't matter to us what the union is, but it will have to be the one who approves this change of guild. All service stations in Tierra del Fuego, we pay under the 79/89 agreement, which is what COPS signs and covers Bahía Blanca, Chubut, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego, which is what the chamber signs with SMATA Bahía Blanca”, he concluded. .
