The Municipal Government Secretary, Luciano Dell´Olio, confirmed that he requested mandatory conciliation from the Labor Secretariat regarding the 72-hour strike called by a portion of the waste collection staff, which left the city without this service throughout Monday.
Dell’ Olio stated that “in the meeting we held this Monday with the staff, we presented all the efforts being made by the Municipality to keep the trucks and all the equipment used for collection in good condition, in an extremely difficult context.” He remarked that “we are even in the process of purchasing two new collection trucks.”
Through the Secretariat of Urban Development, the Municipality called for a tender for the purchase of two trucks with compactor equipment for waste collection.
Dell’ Olio warned that the fleet of collection trucks is subjected to very intense service that causes rapid deterioration. “Due to the service they provide and the daily kilometers they cover, these are trucks that require constant attention and are being repaired, notwithstanding the fact that they are generally several years old,” he remarked.
Municipal workshops are working to deliver at least two trucks in condition to return to circulation today, and there are three others under repair, he mentioned.
The decision to carry out the strike was made in an assembly held this Monday and would extend until Wednesday inclusive, affecting waste collection in most of Concordia. The Municipality arranged an emergency service with outsourced personnel, given the importance that the collection work holds for the community.
Dell’ Olio said that “although all paths of dialogue were attempted, we could not reach an agreement, so we asked the Labor Secretariat to order mandatory conciliation in order to continue dialoguing, but with the collection service operating.”
