Puerto Montt Chiloe. October 7, 2009. (Ecoceanos News) - Workers criticized the Minister of Economy, Hugo Lavados, this giving "shamefully" against the pressures of the salmon industry by announcing that assesses flexibility of a draft article amending the Law on Fisheries and Aquaculture, which sets the expiry of concessions for non-compliance to labor standards.
According to unions, with these statements is confirmed that the policy continues to lack of transparency, bad faith and fait accompli by the Minister. "This new scheme by the Minister Lavados to enact the law that privatized the sea, is being done with little transparency on the backs of workers, "say the leaders.
also wonder what will be the arguments of some parliamentarians in the Lakes Region, as Senator Camilo Escalona, \u200b\u200bto defend a bill aimed mortgage aquaculture concessions for the salmon industry and private banking.
In an interview with The Llanquihue, the Finance Minister was asked about the possibility of relaxing the indication of termination of the concessions by labor causes, due to rejection by the industry, which said he is willing Washes if "that generates the majority and (so) the project out."
President of the Federation of Workers of the salmon industry Quellón, Gustavo Cortés, Ecoceanos News said that "once again is revealed the power of the salmon industry. Government has never had a clear position in favor of the interests of workers, and the statements of Minister Lavados us it is clear that abuses by companies will continue. "
Cortes said that "we want the salmon industry is reactive, but not at the expense of workers. The companies are providing jobs for five months and then the government should assume the commitments with the unemployed. The idea is that the real culprits of the crisis, the salmon industry, makes the commitments to workers. " He added that "we were right in not wanting from the beginning to support this initiative. We never thought that concessions were to expire because the companies failed to comply with labor law. The amendments to the Fishery Law of the interests of the workers have been absent. These statements are undressed Lavados Minister really meant what this bill: benefit big salmon companies, banks and creditors. "
"We've always been against the privatization of the sea. We are not available for this deception. We need the unity of the workers' federations. People and organizations are supporting this project need to realize that only going to benefit big business, so it is important to work together. "
CRITICAL TO BUSINESS LEADERS TO SUPPORT
Gustavo Cortes recalled that the Federation of CONATRASAL support the draft law amending the Fishery after authorities, led by former Undersecretary of Fishing, Felipe Sandoval, undertook to incorporate initiative in terms of compliance with labor laws and a charter for respecting the rights of workers.
That agreement was even released worldwide by CONATRASAL leaders and the NGO Olachica on a trip to Norway.
President of the Federation of Fishing Industry of Puerto Montt, Ricardo Casas, Ecoceanos News said that "since it began processing the bill in Congress, the Government's speech was the same as the industry salmon. We have stated many times that the project does not work, it favors employers and washes Minister said it ratified. Now does not that argument have to say that with the approval of the project will create more jobs. "
The leader added that "this has all been a hoax and the workers no longer believe that revitalization depends deliver employment resources to businesses. Have come to understand the dynamics, have been internalized as the draft fisheries law and policy have a vision. "
Regarding the agreement between the Government and the CONATRASAL, Casas said, "we have not excluded from the discussions with the authorities but we have not been taken into account, which is different."
Ricardo Casas reported that there is an agreement signed by former Labour Minister, Oscar Andrade, CONATRASAL Confederation, to be the only organization that represents workers at the negotiations with the problem generated by the ISA virus, and were even allocated funds for the so-called social dialogue ".***** END *****
