The national strike of drivers who had to summon the UTA started strongly, as we have been reflected from the daily left and can be seen in the big media.
Despite the government’s squeezes, including police operations, despite the little desire of Roberto Fernández and the betrayal of Miguel Bustunduy (Dota), no one can deny reality. Terminals full of cars, empty trains stations, almost without active streets. Except for some Dota units, there is no bondi.
It is the expression of the anger of the 56 thousand drivers who operate collective transport in the AMBA. As they say again and again, they walk all day driving for poverty salaries. They ask for 1.8 million, they offer crumbs: fixed sums of 45 thousand pesos. What a unit raises in a lap. A JODA.
That is why this time was imposed by the bases, tired of the truce of the “Galician.”
The government sends the gendarmerie and prefecture. He says he has to accept “the government pattern.” 1%. In the middle are the pulls with the large groups for subsidies and increased ticket. The government wants to use silver for other businesses and knows that another tariff will fall badly into a fed up and impoverished society.
That is why the question that many are asked is how to follow? It is the talk that had a passenger and a driver of 135 yesterday. “If we stop one day, you have to stop 3 or 4 to give us the increase.” The same is chat in Wasap and head groups.
Because the conduction of the UTA could not avoid unemployment but knows that it serves to “gain time” for its strategy. But its strategy is the one that left salaries on the floor and broken bodies. The double employment. That is why it is important to take advantage of the forcefulness of the measure to discuss how to continue and how to win. The 1960s had an answer, while stirring with drums and flags at the door of the company, before leaving for Saavedra. They sang “with a single strike will not reach, we need a national struggle plan.”
In line 60 they sing “with a strike will not reach, we need a national struggle plan.” It is the proposal so that unemployment is not used by the UTA to decompress and return to the truce. For new measures until conquering 1.8 million and working conditions pic.twitter.com/b3sX8q8dqk

But they also made it clear that their fight is the same as that of the entire working class. A laborer made it clear:
The work of the whole country are like this! No one is saved alone! The 60s that for and cuts in Puente Saavedra says it. Long live the bus strike. For a salary of 1.8 million x 8 hours/5 days, updated by monthly inflation.

You have to get today’s unemployment every hour more overwhelming. It will be a message to the government but also to all workers in the country. There are forces, we must follow it, with more strikes, with assemblies, with solidarity measures with the users, with marches, with the unit with other unions and everything that manages to break the truce and the Milei plan. For 1.8 million basics with an 8 -hour and 5 days day, automatically updated by inflation. For better working conditions.
We make ourselves available to that fight plan.
