Mirgor and UOM reach labor agreement in Argentina

Overview

The labor dispute between Mirgor and the Unión Obrera Metalúrgica (UOM) in Río Grande has transitioned from a period of layoffs into a formalized labor agreement.

Following a period of conflict that included the dismissal of approximately 100 to 130 workers, a pact was reached between the UOM and three Grupo Mirgor companies: IATEC, Famar, and Brightstar. This agreement, valid until December 31, 2026, establishes an annual productivity bonus of $3,120,000 net per worker, payable in installments. To protect automotive production and industrial competitiveness, the contract includes social peace clauses that restrict protest actions. Additionally, the agreement allows for production suspensions of up to 15 days per month, during which workers will receive 75% of their net daily salary.

The resolution remains fragmented across the group. Delegates from Mirgor S.A.C.I.F.I.A. opted not to sign the agreement, leaving their workers excluded from the bonus. Furthermore, while some maintenance and engineering staff have returned to the Aires del Sur plant to prepare facilities, most workers there continue to await a formal agreement before fully resuming activities.
