However, as there will be no public transportation, and very few taxis, because they are members of the drivers’ union, the labor unions clarified that the mobilization will be limited to delegates and those who can travel to the center of the provincial capital.

“The strongest decision is to paralyze the country, as a measure of protest against the economic measures against the workers and the people promoted by the national government. In Córdoba, the different union groups decided to hold a mobilization to show our rejection of this anti-worker economic plan. In any case, we are clear that in this case, the most important thing will be the strike, not the mobilization,” explained Edgar Luján, head of the Truck Drivers’ union, and one of the three members of the triumvirate of leadership of the CGT Regional Córdoba, which It has the recognition of the national CGT. The other two members of the triumvirate with Rubén Urbano (UOM) and Ricardo López (Atsa).

Silence in the Civic Center

Marking a difference with other situations, for example, when there was a teachers’ strike, there was silence from the provincial government and the threat of discounting the day for public employees and teachers who did not come to work this Thursday was not agitated.

With the conviction that the protest measure against the economic policies of the national government will have high compliance, in this case, Governor Martín Llaryora chose a low profile.

Furthermore, there is another issue at stake in this second strike against the libertarian management: the unions reject the labor reform that would be applied if the “base law” that had half a sanction in Deputies is approved.

On this issue being debated in Congress, Governor Llaryora is in favor of the project promoted by the national government.

CGT strike: unions that do not adhere

At least publicly, the only Córdoba union that does not adhere to the general strike called by the national CGT is the Unión Personal Superior (UPS), the union of the province’s hierarchical employees, led by Domingo Ovando.

In addition, UPS questioned the decision of the transport unions to carry out a total stoppage of activities.

“The union’s board of directors decided not to adhere to the general strike decreed by the national CGT. Humbly, we remain at the service of the community, which with the payment of its taxes allows us to have a salary. In this sense, we regret and repudiate the attitude of the unions that will paralyze transportation, a situation that will harm workers, students and teachers. “It is the honest workers who pay the salaries of the drivers, not the businessmen who only collect,” expressed the UPS board of directors, in an official statement.
