The Union of Superior Railway Personnel (UPSF) launched a 24-hour strike for next Thursday as a result of different labor claims to companies in the sector.

The measure of force will govern from 0 to 24 and will reach the Sarmiento, Roca, San Martín, Mitre, Belgrano Sur and Tren de la Costa lines ; as well as long-distance and regional services, and Belgrano Cargas y Logística SA

The strike, said the UPFS, is “as a consequence of the successive unresolved proposals and having exhausted the negotiations with the SOFSE and BCYL companies . “

The demands of the union are for “labor discrimination, by virtue of the deficiencies or absences of remuneration for seniority, payment of the daily snack, percentage of the university and tertiary degree , non-recognition of the rights and benefits to the members.”

They also denounced situations such as “workers belonging to other union associations, compulsory discounts disguised under the concept of solidarity contribution by the SOFSE company, and unfair practices by SOFSE company officials.”

They also complained about the “refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement by the companies with UPFS” . In this framework, the UPFS requested in the statement that the “brother unions of the railway industry” accompany this measure of force.
