Labor disputes in Uruguay

Overview

Labor tensions are increasing in Uruguay across multiple sectors. The Federation of Dairy Industry Workers (FTIL) has declared a national conflict following the dismissal of 25 workers linked to Conaprole, with the union considering partial strikes and work-to-rule actions that could disrupt national supply chains and exports.

In a separate development, a long-standing dispute at the Terminal Cuenca del Plata port in Montevideo is approaching a resolution. The Ministry of Labor and Social Security has facilitated a proposed five-year collective bargaining agreement between the company and the union, though political opposition in Uruguay is seeking the interpellation of Labor Minister Juan Castillo regarding the management of the conflict.
