WE ALL MARCH TOGETHER (DIS)UNITED

On the foundationalperonist day of October 17, the trade unions will be marching divided between the socalled ‘gordos’ labour establishment, independents and Luis Barrionuevo’s backers. The three sectors will concentrate forces at Obras Sanitarias headquarters where 5,000 leaders will gather and give details on the Corriente Sindical Peronista, a group preparing to discuss Congress candidacies within Frente de Todos.

Meanwhile, Pablo Moyano and his union branches will make their presence felt in Plaza de Mayo together with the two CTA labour umbrellas and social movements. It will be a propitious occasion, warn various trade union leaders, to revive demands regarding a critical social situation. Héctor Amichetti, who heads the FGB (Federación Gráfica Bonaerense) printers and is associate leader of the Corriente Federal de Trabajadores (CFT), anticipated that the aim will be to ask for “unity on the basis of social justice and sovereignty.”

The leader detailed: “The idea is to draft a joint document signed by many sectors and participating massively that day in the march. That text will be read and go public on October 17. There we will analyse the national reality and ratify our historic claims.”
