The institutional and workplace atmosphere at the Club Atlético Unión is going through decisive hours. Iván Primón, a UTEDYC delegate, spoke with the program ADN, hosted by DaríoPignata on Radio Gol 96.7, and provided details of the conflict currently pitting the entity on Avenida López y Planes against the union. After submitting three formal letters in less than a month, the workers’ representative confirmed that a key meeting will take place tomorrow, Saturday at noon, between club officials, delegates, and union representatives in an attempt to unlock the situation before next Monday’s match.
The focus of the complaint centers on two contentious issues: delays in the payment of monthly wages compared to what is established in the collective bargaining agreement, and the unexpected staff cuts during the most recent home matches.
Although the Tatengue board argues that payments have historically been made between the 1st and the 10th of each month, the union demands strict compliance with the legal deadlines. “On the fourth business day they should deposit the money so that on the fifth business day we can receive our salary,” Primón explained, highlighting the difference with the internal practice maintained by the club’s leadership.
The delegate warned about the impact of delayed wages on everyday finances: “In this country, people don’t make it to the end of the month. It’s not enough for anything, so everything comes due before the 10th of the month… many pay rent, have to pay their credit card, and a lot of other things…”
Discontent grew over reductions in work assignments for matches, affecting a total of nine workers. “The co-workers showed up to work that day and found out they weren’t authorized,” Primón said regarding the lack of prior notice.
UTEDYC is demanding that jobs be respected during matches and clarified that these measures are not intended to affect the club’s finances: “Because of the 4 or 5 people who were left out of the match, the club’s economy is not going to change…”
Despite the tension and the union branch’s demand for a meeting, Primón ruled out any risk to Monday’s match. “We are always willing to talk. The idea is to meet with the club official, talk, see how we can solve several things…” he concluded, seeking predictability for the affected families.
Despite the discontent and the filing of formal complaints, the union sought to reassure members and fans ahead of Tatengue’s next home match.
Iván Primón flatly ruled out any strike action that could jeopardize the opening of the stadium, assuring that dialogue remains open: “At no point does the letter that was submitted say that they are not going to open the stadium, or that the match will not be played”. In this way, the normal staging of the event is guaranteed, subject to the outcome of the negotiating table that will open this Saturday at noon.
