Setback for the Moyano: the Loading and Unloading union obtained the support of the CGT in the conflict over Mercado Libre

An old union conflict reappeared at the meeting of the Board of Directors of the CGT: he voracious appetite Truckers for staying with members of other unions. Specifically, there was talk of the blockades that the union that leads Hugo Moyano performed in five Mercado Libre distribution centers in the middle of last month. The protest had been in demand that the personnel who work in a logistics warehouse of that e-commerce company be framed under the agreement of Truckers and not of Loading and Unloading, as it is currently.

Although he is a member of the CGT Board of Directors and is a member of the Arbitration Committee of the trade union center – it is the body that resolves which organization corresponds to the affiliations of workers in the event of a dispute between unions -, the general secretary for Loading and Unloading, Daniel Vila rarely has a very active participation in the meetings of the Cegetista leadership.

But at Tuesday’s meeting at UOCRA, had a pretty stellar role: He told in detail how the conflict with Truckers for Mercado Libre had been and where the dispute was now.

After his story, Daniel Vila took the complete support of the CGT in the fight with Truckers. What’s more: cegetista driving announced to the Loading and Unloading leader that he will process an audience with the Minister of Labor, Claudio Moroni.

Before Vila exposed, the perfumer had taken the floor Rubén Sandoval, who had criticized the Moyanos for staying with affiliates of their guild in a cosmetic company a few years ago.

In 2011 it was calculated that Truckers had taken – “stolen”, in the words of the trade union – 26,000 workers from the Trade union, more than 10,000 from the Security Union, 5,000 from FATAGA (Gaseous Waters) and around 2,000 from Loading and Unloading . At that time, at the hand of Carlos Tomada in the Ministry of Labor, everything was resolved in favor of what Moyano intended.

One of the CGT co-secretaries general, Hector Daer, Had condemned the blocks to Mercado Libre. Here is a collective agreement in force and under no point of view the conflict can be deferred with a blockade against colleaguesDaer had sentenced.

The cegetista criterion is that worker disputes must be resolved first through the Ministry of Labor and later in the CGT Arbitration Committee. And if there is no agreement, in Justice.

After the blocks, Truckers began a negotiation with Mercado Libre. But the union reported that negotiations with the company are bogged down and that they could carry out new measures of force.

Blocking of Truckers, last July 16, at Mercado Libre logistics centers.


In a statement, Pablo Moyano – the first-born son of the truck driver and number two of the union – said last week: “We do not rule out holding the assemblies again on the income of the distribution plants of said company in the coming weeks.”
