Mirgor and UOM labor dispute in Argentina

Overview

A labor dispute between the company Mirgor and the Unión Obrera Metalúrgica (UOM) in Río Grande has transitioned from public confrontation to a period of negotiation.

Initially, Mirgor CEO José Luis Alonso attributed the conflict to UOM leadership, claiming they failed to negotiate without conflict. Alonso stated that while the majority of the workforce wished to work, many employees were “afraid” due to ongoing industrial actions. He emphasized that resolving the dispute was necessary to maintain production and regional industrial competitiveness.

Following a period of tension and industrial action, the company and the union have entered a phase of voluntary conciliation. This agreement aims to extend the period without strikes until September 25. The negotiations are focused on working conditions and competitiveness mechanisms, with the goal of securing the jobs of approximately 300 workers who had previously been dismissed.
