The UTA union confirmed the bus service status for February 11 in Argentina, stating there will be no strike in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area but different circumstances in the provinces.
The Unión Tranviarios Automotor (UTA) has confirmed the status of bus services for Wednesday, February 11, amid a potential strike related to salary disputes. While the union had previously indicated a possibility of work stoppages due to demands for salary increases that align with those negotiated in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA), it has now assured that services in AMBA will not be affected. In contrast, the provinces may experience different conditions as the union pushes for similar salary conditions in those regions.
The UTA is set to participate in a march towards the Congress, called by the CGT, emphasizing their demands for better salaries. The union insists that the Federacion Argentina de Transportadores por Automotor de Pasajeros (FATAP) must extend the salary agreements effective in AMBA to bus services operating in provincial areas. The situation reflects ongoing tensions regarding equitable treatment of transport workers across different regions of Argentina.
Overall, this situation underscores the ongoing discussion around labor rights and fair compensation for workers across different geographical areas in Argentina. The UTA's actions and demands will be closely watched, as they may set a precedent for future labor negotiations and transport service regulations in the country, particularly in light of economic conditions affecting the transport sector.
