UTEDYC assured Monday's match with Instituto: “We'll open the ground” | OneFootball

The institutional and workplace climate at 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 resolve the situation before next Monday’s match.

The focus of the claim centers on two contentious issues: delays in the payment of monthly wages compared to what is stipulated in the collective bargaining agreement, and the unexpected staff cuts during the most recent home matches.

The wage urgency and compliance with the agreement

Although the Tatengue board argues that salaries have historically been paid between the 1st and the 10th of each month, the union demands that the legal deadlines be strictly respected. “By the fourth business day they should deposit the money so that by the fifth business day we can collect our salary,” Primón explained, highlighting the difference with the internal custom maintained by the club’s leadership.

The delegate warned about the impact of delayed wages on everyday finances: “In this country, people can’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…”

Staff cuts and lack of prior dialogue

Discontent grew over cuts to work assignments for matches, affecting a total of nine workers. “The coworkers arrived to work that day and found out they were not authorized,” Primón said regarding the lack of prior notice.

UTEDYC is demanding that jobs be respected during the 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…”

Saturday mediation

Despite the tension and the union branch’s request 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, and see how we can solve several things…,” he concluded, seeking predictability for the affected families.

Peace of mind for fans: The Monday match is guaranteed: UTEDYC clarified that the claim will not affect the opening of the stadium against Instituto

Despite the discontent and the filing of formal complaints, the union reassured 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 submitted letter say either that they won’t open the stadium or that the match won’t be played”. In this way, the normal staging of the event is guaranteed, subject to the outcome of the negotiation table that will open this Saturday at noon.
