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 about the conflict currently facing the entity on Avenida López y Planes and 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 points of conflict: delays in the payment of monthly wages compared to what is established in the collective bargaining agreement, and the unexpected staff cuts during 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 is demanding that the legal deadlines be strictly respected. “They should deposit the money by the fourth business day so that we can collect our salary on the fifth business day,” Primón explained, pointing out the difference with the internal custom maintained by the 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...”
The unrest grew due to cuts in work assignments for matches, affecting a total of nine workers. “The workers showed up 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 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, and see how we can solve several things...,” he concluded, seeking predictability for the affected families.
Despite the discontent and the filing of formal claims, the union reassured members and fans ahead of Tatengue’s next home match.
Iván Primón flatly ruled out any strike measure that could jeopardize the opening of the stadium, assuring that dialogue remains open: . In this way, the normal development of the event is guaranteed, subject to the outcome of the negotiating table that will open this Saturday at noon.
