RESOLUTION
1.- To reject any
attempts to implement systematic import
policies, as a way of defending national
labor and industry interests;
2.- That before the
imported beverage enters the country,
the company must guarantee:
a) that all seasonal
workers will be maintained on the job
for a term of at least three months;
b) that the pending
issues on the agenda will be resolved,
namely: permanent contracts, temporary
contracts, categories, productivity,
pre-sale (variable), and interior
distribution agreement;
3.- To secure a
guarantee, together with the Ministries
of Labor and Economy and the National
Federation of Beverage Industry Workers
(FOEB), that the proposed import
operation is in effect a one-time only
operation;
4.- To ensure that the
sole importer will be Montevideo
Refrescos S.R.L. and that the
destination will be the Carrasco Plant.
5.- That workers be
released from any responsibility for
inefficiencies that may occur and for
the consequences thereof, for which the
company’s management should be held
responsible;
6.- To declare that
relations with the union at Montevideo
Refrescos S.R.L. have been conducted for
many years through dialogue and
negotiation between the parties and that
it was not by any action of the Union
that such practice was interrupted.
Consequently, the Union proposes that a
two-party Monitoring Committee be formed
to study and find solutions for the
issues of performance and efficiency, as
a way of ensuring that the current
situation will not be repeated in the
future.
