The short and medium distance transport strike was lifted in Rosario this Tuesday at noon, but the groups only began to be seen in the center of the city late in the afternoon.
The delegation Rosario of the Tramway Automotive Union (UTA) was officially notified of the mandatory conciliation that the Ministry of Labor issued at the national level. The paro for 48 hours it started this midnight got up. Sergio Copello, general secretary of the union, said this afternoon from Plaza San Martín that the service would begin to normalize “in a couple of hours” as soon as the tasks of readjustment, cleaning and fuel supply of the units are completed.
The UTA Rosario had decreed a strike for Tuesday and Wednesday. This noon he organized a great act in the historic Santa Fe and Dorrego promenade, in front of the local delegation of the Government. The reason for the protest: to ask that drivers from the interior of the country have the same salary conditions as their colleagues from the Rosario metropolitan area.
“We hope that on Thursday a meeting can be held to unblock this situation, with sums to close the parity in installments due to the inflation that we have. In that meeting there will be Labor officials, colleagues from the National Board of Directors and UTA delegates from all over the country,” Copello said.

A few minutes before knowing the observance of the mandatory conciliation, Copello said that the concentration that was taking place in the Paseo del Siglo demonstrated “the discontent of the bus drivers, and that in the whole country they will not allow first-class and second”.

Microphone in hand, Copello affirmed: “We ask the employers for the salary increase. We are not fund managers. If the national and provincial contributions are not enough, our claims will also be heard. But we are not going to allow our colleagues in Buenos Aires to make agreements with non-remunerated sums and with percentages to achieve a salary that moderately allows us to live and we are not included, and fight against inflation, that which corrodes us every day. . Our wages are barely enough to live on. Since January we have been proposing this and since January they have not listened to us.”
