The claim of collective transport workers is due to salary increases that do not lose to inflation, and for a Basic salary of about $ 1,800,000that is, cover the family basket. Indeed, the minimum pocket salary must have been $ 1,768,976 in March to meet the minimum needs of a home consisting of a couple over 30 years with two minors of school age, as calculated by the Internal ATE-Indec Board. This value consists of $ 613,191 necessary to acquire a minimum food basket and $ 1,155,785 to access other basic goods and services.
The response of the business chambers (AAeta, CEAP, CTPBA and CEUTUPBA) was an “support offer” through “the payment of a extraordinary gratification for the only time, of an unusual or usual nature“Only $ 40,000 (May), $ 50,000 (June) and $ 70,000 (July). In turn, they proposed to set the basic at $ 1,270,000, well below the demand of the workers.
For its part, the government repeat as parrot that they will only homologate with a increasing monthly increase, When the March inflation was 3.7% And it will remain elevated by the exchange rate rise in the new band scheme agreed with the IMF. It is that the debt agreement implies in turn deepen the salary deterioration of the entire set of workers, increasing labor exploitation, precariousness and ultraactivity to reach the end of the month, for the benefit of the large capital that is reduced by the “wage cost”.

The numbers ratify what came out today in all media and managed to make visible thanks to unemployment, and despite the official media propaganda against him. The drivers say they do not reach the end of the month, which must compensate for income with a second job, handle Uber or cut expenses. The anger is total. Thus, from the bases the management of the UTA bureaucracies, which negotiate behind them and do not face the government’s economic adjustment, are rejected.
It is a Poak that exceeds transport activity of people and automotive. All sectors of workers under agreement, and also the informal ones, are seeing their income to go through the Caputo, Milei and the IMF.

According to a matte situation report, Each registered worker of the private sector lost to inflation the equivalent of about two million pesos Since Milei assumed, and almost six million pesos lost each state worker.
Milei and Caputo With the complicity of union leaders They imposed joints below inflation And they want to keep the salary anchor. The continuity of a FIGHT PLAN TO FREN THE ADJUSTMENTin the fight of an emergency increase in wages, retirements and social programs that place the minimum to the value of the family basket, the incorporation of trigger clauses that update the month to month according to inflation and for recovering everything lost in recent years.
