After explaining the proposal to its members, the union will decide this Friday whether to end the long-standing conflict
Compartir:
This Thursday morning, the Suoem delegates' body met to report the content of the municipality's new proposal. The offer was presented Wednesday afternoon, during a conciliation hearing convened by the Secretariat of Labor. The conflict has lasted for more than three months without resolution and affects the functioning of multiple municipal areas.
This Friday at noon, the union delegates will meet again to analyze the mandate arising from the grassroots assemblies. From there, an institutional position will be defined regarding the offer presented by the Municipality. The Executive expects a concrete response to set the resolution of the conflict on track and move forward with the normalization of the service.
According to the union, the proposal includes salary improvements, labor regularization, limits on the Ente, and restrictions on the Urban Guard. The increase would be 13.5% in gross salary, distributed in four installments between July and December, and includes an inflation review clause. Seniority is also recognized for those hired in 2020, and the Ente is prevented from interfering in municipal tasks.

Suoem's demands are already bordering on the limits of reasonableness
Although the official offer addresses most of their demands, Suoem keeps an inflexible attitude that hinders dialogue. The union's systematic refusal suggests that it seeks to exert pressure beyond what is reasonable, in a complex social context. That conduct undermines institutional integrity and distorts the conflict as a legitimate negotiation tool.
The union has shown little willingness to acknowledge concrete gestures from the Executive and continues to force tense scenarios. The ongoing rejection of any intermediate solution indicates an interest in prolonging the conflict as a form of pressure. This strategy doesn't contribute to consensus and harms workers, residents, and the administration as a whole.
In times when it is urgent to prioritize institutional responsibility, Suoem persists with demands that no longer correspond to the current situation. Maintaining excessive demands in the face of constant offers represents an imbalance with consequences for everyone. Citizens deserve officials and unions willing to engage in dialogue, not actors clinging to closed power dynamics.
