Casino workers in Buenos Aires province took to the streets last week as tensions continue to rise over salaries. Disgruntled employees met in front of the province ‘s gambling halls as negotiations between Buenos Aires provincial government employees and the administration of Governor Axel Kicillof deteriorated.
According to the Association of Administrative, Maintenance, and Service Employees (AMS), the protests will escalate if there is no official response.
“We will not negotiate with indifference nor tolerate delays: our patience has run out, ” the Association stated. The workers pointed directly to the provincial government as being responsible for resolving the conflict.
State employees in the province are demanding an urgent adjustment to address the impact of inflation and the equalization of their compensatory bonus with that of the Employees’ Fund.
