In Paraná, labor unrest has emerged following the municipal administration's decision to award the city's metered parking service to a private consortium, Unión Transitoria de Empresas (UTE) SAEM – IT NET S.A. 

While the municipality stated the contract includes the initial incorporation of 47 workers and revenue allocation for future training, approximately 130 current parking attendants have organized protests. Workers and representatives from the Movimiento de Trabajadores Excluidos (MTE) are demanding a meeting with Mayor Rosario Romero to seek guarantees regarding job continuity, specifically expressing concern for older employees and those with disabilities.
