Camioneros union demands $100M in indemnities for Buenos Aires waste workers
The Camioneros union, led by Pablo Moyano, is demanding indemnities for approximately 6,000 waste collection workers in Buenos Aires as the city prepares to renew service concessions for the 2028-2038 period. The union is invoking a long-standing practice they call the 'Moyano Law,' which requires outgoing companies to pay workers and new companies to rehire them. The total requested amount could exceed 100 million dollars.
While the union has threatened assemblies, mobilizations, and potential work stoppages, preliminary bidding documents from the Buenos Aires City government do not currently include provisions for these payments. A public hearing is scheduled for October 5 to discuss the terms of the new contracts.
This labor dispute occurs amidst broader political tension in Argentina. Union leaders from the CGT and CTA have expressed significant dissatisfaction with President Javier Milei's economic policies, criticizing the government for what they describe as a failure to address recession and poverty. Some labor leaders have called for national strikes and increased street protests to oppose the current administration's economic model.
