In a statement, the union also condemned the dismantling of the Secretariat of Childhood, Adolescence and Family, and the dismissal or temporary redundancy of employees of Tourism, Environment and Sports, the Matanza-Riachuelo Basin Authority (Acumar) and Public Works of the National Directorate of Architecture, among other organizations. In addition, it slammed the considerable salary cuts applied to several entities, such as the Army College.

ATE specified that, in addition to tomorrow’s mobilizations, a federal plenary session is being contemplated “to define an action plan and vote on a new full-scale strike.”

“This new round of mass and temporary layoffs is seeking to end core social policies and destroy one of the basic pillars created to assist the most vulnerable social groups,” said the organization’s secretary general, Rodolfo Aguiar.

“This action only corresponds to a government that has denied social justice from day one and does not consider that the State must articulate the common good and promote human development. This is why it cuts essential public services without any justification or technical or professional argument,” Aguiar said. “Faced with this new attack, we need to multiply protests and move forward with the broadest unity leading to an all-out strike that shake the management basis at its worst times” he added.
