Paolo Rocca, head of the Techint Group, is one of the three richest men in Argentina, with a fortune of 5000 million dollars.
On the other side, we have the outsourced Ternium. There are 2700 workers who are part of the “SMEs” network that Rocca mounted to supply his business and precarize his workers. In Siderar there are 52 “contractors.”

Why is the rebellion?
A year ago the outsourced began a claim for wages and working conditions.
They charge 300 or 400 thousand pesos the fortnight. Yes, you heard well.
Worse. They work up to 12 hours per day, that with the entrance and exit they go to 14. At what time do you live, rest, are with your children?
This unbearable precarization also means that they have the most dangerous work, with sailed temperatures, breathing toxic gases.
This is not new. All governments let Rocca treat their workers as slaves. I sucks them to the last drop of blood … and discard them.
But this time they said enough.

The Steel Rebellion must be surrounded by solidarity and unite the struggles of Acindar, Siderca, Vassalli and those who resist that the “industrial crisis” discharges it over the workers.
The left has a proposal.
