While Milei advances with his war plan against the workers and the peopleand the complicit political and union Peronism lets it run in the midst of its own narrative crises and turning to the right every day as Grabois shows by attacking the right of teachers to strike, the employers take advantage of what they can and advance in direct and covert dismissals (“voluntary” arrangements), suspensions, increases in exploitation, regressive changes in working conditions and now with the regulation of the labor reform contained in the Ley Bases.
These last “social actors” do nothing more than be true social parasites, who suck millions of pesos and dollars from the body of society every day, from the earth and from the millions of workers who give their lives to work, And when an economic crisis begins, the lords of industry lay off workers without any problem. The freedom to leave tens of thousands of families in poverty, which already add up to 250,000 fewer registered jobs, adding up to 600,000 together with state and unregistered jobs, is guaranteed in this social system led today by the libertarian who believes himself to be an animal.
To take some examples of how this irrational logic dominates our times, Let’s look at some examples of how billionaire businessmen fire workersthe only creators of wealth together with their class, who make it possible day after day for everything in this country to get going and produce, transfer, communicate, educate, cure, build, in a cooperative and effective way, making the whole society function and survive.
Madanes Quintanilla fires Manotas and hundreds of Fate workers. Owner of Fate, Aluar and the Futaleufú hydroelectric plant, he is today one of the 20 richest Argentines, according to Forbes magazine, with a net worth of at least 590 million dollars. In the last 3 years he earned about 200 million dollars, which means that for each worker he earned about 40 million pesos per year. The “salary cost” only reaches 4% of the price of a tire. He has 4,500 workers working for him between Fate and Aluar (aluminum producer).
Manotas: 42 years old. 14 years in Fate. His family consists of three children aged 8, 11 and 16 and his unemployed partner. Salary: 1,100,000, fortnightly 500,000. Rotating hours: Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. With weeks that seemed to never end because he only had one day off. Changing every two weeks. With the schedules and the two-hour commute in total, he had little life left.
He worked in the most obsolete and heavy part, with old machines from the truck and tractor sector that required a lot of manpower and a lot of strength. High production rates to reach the standards required by the employers with machines that were 70 years old. The place was/is unhealthy, horrible, in summer they worked with heat of 45 degrees. He carried 40 kilos per wheel, making the social wealth that Madanes appropriated: 40 truck or tractor tires per day for a current value of 1 million pesos each. In other words, he carried 1,600 kilos per day. 14 years of doing this left his shoulders in misery and 40 million pesos per day for Madanes. They fired him without any “personal” cause, but rather alleging an economic crisis, due to the “government’s economic policies.”
Manotas wants to fightovercoming the bad emotional moment day by day, to face Madanes. She is an example for all the families of the tire and the country. Her family feels it, they have to spend much less, when the children ask for something and it is not possible, managing the expense also with her old lady, who earns the minimum, and helped her with a monthly allowance that took her out of poverty and led her to poverty, now she is going to fall into poverty again. The anger and hatred is all the time, together with an anguish that is inevitable. But she wants to fight it. She is always thinking about how to get her job back, fighting alongside her colleagues.
Comment that andThe union (SUTNA) was recovered from the bureaucracy. Today they are trying to unify with other sectors that are fighting. These days he went to Fate’s door with his dismissed companions to bring a letter encouraging them to continue fighting, and now Together with the Granate group of which he is a part, he is proposing to hold a large general assembly to vote on a plan of struggle to defeat the attack of this multimillionaire bloodsucker who only knows how to live off of work and the lives of others.
