Mario Calegari, spokesman for the Unión Tranviarios Automotor union, accused the director of failing to comply with the parity agreement signed at the Ministry of Labor.
In the midst of the tension and indignation of the thousands of passengers stranded in the AMBA due to the transportation strike, the UTA spokesman and the director of Grupo Dota staged a tense exchange during a radio interview and accused each other of the measure of force.
“You’re wrong, you’re lying again,” Calegari, spokesman for UTA, crossed over to Mario Pasciuto, director of Dota.
Moments before, Calegari had begun an interview with journalist Eduardo Feinmann on Radio Miter and had blamed the business conglomerate for failing to comply with the joint agreement that, according to him, the workers signed at the Ministry of Labor.
“We signed an agreement, it is a problem that has been going on for a long time, an agreement that the business sector does not comply with, saying that the government does not lower the agreements for subsidies and we are the sanguche ham,” said the spokesperson for the Tramway Union Automotive.

When added to the interview, Pasciuto pointed out against the UTA: “I am a businessman, the people are affiliated, they voted in the UTA union and the general secretary of the UTA is responsible for all its affiliates in his union. If the union can’t manage its rank and file, I have nothing to do with it,” he said.
When trying to explain why the company does not comply with the parity agreement to which Calegari refers, Pasciuto maintained that “the Government drew 27,000 million to pay salaries and they say 6,500 million for the increase, and the increase is 16,000 million.”

“What they are demanding is much more than fair, I agree that the driver earns more than $400,000 pesos, it is a job that I have done and I know what it means, but from there to the chicaneous government with which he paid and the union says that I am a trade unionist”, complained the businessman.

The UTA spokesman crossed Pasciuto again and maintained that “the fight” is Dota’s with the Government, but the head of the company retorted: “If you signed (the joint agreement) with the State, talk to the State” .
