Confirmed: there will be no bonuses for retirees

The meeting was on the G-20. Martinez went to Olivos to present the formal conclusions of the L-20, the "chapter on work" of the summit, which took place in Mendoza last September. Beyond this protocol, the leader has resumed his proposal to expand the mechanisms of dialogue. The answer was that, for the moment, the executive will hold open discussions with all sectors of the economy, but separately, a dynamic that was already the official policy of Jorge Triaca's leadership at the head of the Labor Party.

The "sectoral tables" are the method that the Macri administration has found to decentralize the negotiations. In the case of unionism, officials held meetings with the leaders of the transport, energy and industry, among others, and only with the CGT for the negotiation of the bonus of 5,000 dollars decreed by the head of state. The expectation of the center of work is to extend this dialogue to place it at the level of the CGT and the offices of the chief leaders.

During the interview, the bad news concerned Sica. The minister confirmed to the unionist that there were no resources for the payment of a premium to retirees and pensioners, a direction that the CGT also tried in parallel with the supplement to workers in the sector. private. Last week, the ANSES chief, Emilio Basavilbaso, had already ruled out this option, but the governor of Buenos Aires, Maria Eugenia Vidal, announced the payment of a bonus of 3,500 dollars to the pensioners of the province, who took over the hope of a measure. Similar at the national level.

On the income side, the answer was less clear. The officials explained to Martinez that only an badessment of the tax for public transport workers was badyzed. This week, Sica and her couple of carriers, Guillermo Dietrich, received the small table of the confederation of guilds of this activity (CATT) to advance in this negotiation.

Martinez has at least made the presidential commitment that next year will not stop the public work. In 2018, the shutdown of activity has resulted in the past few months the loss of at least 10,000 jobs and motorized a joint proposal from Uocra and the House of the construction before the fear of 30,000 more jobs threatened. . The gremialista will announce in the coming days a new wage agreement which will bring the increase of this year to 40,3%.
