Moments of uncertainty and tension are lived in the Palermo station of the San Martin Linedue to the road cut which is carrying out a hundred workers from two private security companies to demand salary improvements and the move to a permanent plant of Trenes Argentinos. Faced with this situation, for which the railway provides reduced service between Villa del Parque and Cabred, Justice gave an ultimatum to the protesters to raise the protest, otherwise they will be evicted by members of the Federal Police who are already in Puente Pacífico.
Sources of Argentine Trains consulted by Infobae confirmed that the demonstration is promoted by outsourced employees of two security companies, Lideres and Comahue, which they demand salary improvements and the transfer to a permanent plant of the state company.
The cut surprised the authorities of Trenes Argentinos because, according to sources told this medium, the protesters did not previously request a meeting to avoid this forceful measure. “In fact, a negotiating table already existed. It is not understood why they cut the tracks “they lamented.
In order to find a solution to the conflict, a meeting between the parties was scheduled for 12 noon at the headquarters that Trenes Argentinos has in Retiro. However, the representatives of the protesters have not yet appeared at the conclave and they assure that the authorities do not receive them.
Manuela Castañeira, national leader of the New MAS, joined the protest to show solidarity with the demonstrators and published a photo together with members of the organization “Third Parties in LSM Fight.” And he tweeted: “#Now in solidarity with the precarious workers of the San Martín and Miter lines who are holding a rally in Puente Pacifico for the move to a permanent plant and against precariousness.”
Yesterday morning, one person died when he was run over by a formation of the San Martín Line at the Hurlingham stationin the western area of the Buenos Aires suburbs, as reported by the Trenes Argentinos press department.
According to the sources, the accident occurred after 9 a.m. at the Hurlingham station when, for reasons that are being established, a person was hit by a group of passengers as they arrived at the station, and died on the spot. Due to the accident, police personnel and local firefighters worked at the scene, while awaiting the court order to remove the victim’s body from the tracks.
Due to the incident, the trains (which normally connect Pilar with Retiro) made a limited route between the Hurlingham and Retiro stations.
