Buenos Aires, February 11 (NA) – Amidst the heated debate over the labor reform project, the union and the business chamber of oilseed crushers have exchanged harsh accusations. The general secretary of the Federation of Oilseed Crushers and Cotton Ginning Mills, Daniel Yofre, described the labor reform as 'a piece of shit that has nothing in favor of workers' and called to 'go out to fight to stop this barbarity against the working class'. Meanwhile, from the CIARA oilseed chamber, they stated that the decision of some leaders of the Oilseed Federation to decree a national strike in the industry to mobilize oilseed workers to march is an 'absolute violation of rights and puts at risk the source of employment for thousands of oilseed workers who have salaries above the national average'. 'The oilseed industry is absolutely unrelated to this strike, and the only reason is political. From CIARA we say NO to the political strike, YES to work!', stated the business chamber. In turn, Yofre assured that the project 'is a piece of shit, out of the nearly 200 articles it has not one in favor of workers. If the Federation needs to express itself on the Labor Modernization Law project, it has the means that democracy provides: direct dialogue with senators, the debate of ideas and the presentation of proposals, as the industry already did from the Argentine Agro-Industrial Council, which contributed ideas for transformation and improvement so that the agro-industry can get out of stagnation', they said from CIARA. 'Some leaders of the Federation seem to be unaware that they are in a democracy. The intemperate decision of a national strike for this Wednesday mortgages the work and the salary of thousands of workers who will see their income substantially reduced at the end of the month. Everything we have cost a lot of struggle and this government throws it overboard and a large part of the union movement does not understand that we have to go out to fight to stop this barbarity against the working class', he said. #AgenciaNA We are going back a hundred years, where we did not have the eight-hour workday and we did not have the right to decide about our lives.
