Union busting at Nestlé

Full Strike at Nestlé,
General Rodríguez

 

 

 

In the town of General Rodríguez, Buenos Aires Province, there is a Nestlé and Eco de los Andes water bottler  with more than 400 workers. A reaction to union busting has led the plant to a strike of the Argentinean Federation of Carbonated Beverages and Related Industry Workers (FATAGA).

 
Consulted by Sirel, FATAGA leader Pablo Quiroga, reported that “Juan Pablo Costa, a 32-year-old lab worker at the plant recently decided to join the union. The company, claiming that lab workers are not covered by the collective bargaining agreement in force, decided to take an action --probably considered exemplary and intimidating for the remaining lab workers-- and dismissed him on July 31.”

 

In spite of the steps taken by the local Union and the Federation, Nestlé refused to reconsider the decision. Consequently, since yesterday, Monday 3, the plant of General Rodríguez is totally paralyzed in solidarity with Juan Pablo Costa.

 

Pablo Quiroga asserted that this strike will continue until the reinstatement of Costa to his position and until his union membership becomes effective with no negative consequences whatsoever for this worker.
