Council of Ministers President Anibal Torres confirmed this Friday that “negotiations with carriers are ongoing” before some heavy haulers unions announced an indefinite strike on 27 June.
During a press conference after the Council of Ministers, the head of the Cabinet also denied the possibility of a shortage of supplies in the capital markets in the face of a possible carrier strike. He added that if this forceful measure is introduced, then only from “some sectors of the carriers.”
“There is a threat of a transport strike on Monday, but negotiations with carriers continue. It is likely that there will be no strike, or if there is a strike, it will be only in some sectors of the carriers. especially for 10 days of lack of markets. This is not true,” he said.
“Negotiation process”
Head of the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTS), John Barranzuelaconfirmed that, at the behest of President Pedro Castillo, his sector worked “in advance” with several freight transport unions, which made it possible to reach “some arrangements” with important unions and decide not to go on strike.
John Barranzuela it was reported that, with the help of multi-sectoral technical groups, various regulatory measures have been developed in relation to “drafted, issued and signed” supreme decrees that address the issue of driver’s licenses, additional infrastructure and which provide certain guarantees to carriers against the unfair behavior of some private sector companies in relation to competition . .
“We have been working with the legal teams along with the union teams on some of the bills because addressing the problems they create is beyond the remit, functions and powers of the sector. However, we have provided all the necessary support to be able to work on these bills that are submitted to the central government, to be able to give them a final review and be able to send them to the Congress of the Republic, where they should develop an appropriate interpretation,” he explained. he.
Also, John Barranzuela He pointed out that the Supreme Decree on International Transport was approved, aimed at establishing a more equitable system for controlling the transit of cargo transport units coming from neighboring countries using fuel under inadequate conditions. He added that he coordinated with Indecopi a report on transportation costs, which takes into account “new parameters” given the evolution of the old rules. This is necessary in order to determine whether any adjustments need to be made and whether they are within the competence of the performer.
“We still continue to work, because you understand that this is a negotiation process. In the negotiation process, some demands are sometimes closed, but, curiously, the unions manage to put forward new demands within the framework of this negotiation scheme, and logically, we can by no means refuse to interpret these expectations, although some of them may border on unconstitutional , since they are not provided for in the legal field of the state,” he specified.
John Barranzuela He assured that after the press conference he would return to his office, specifying that the vice minister of transport and the vice minister of economy were meeting with four leaders appointed by the unions to agree on part of the documentation formed in their favor.
“But also to indicate to them that they have other expectations and what is needed, because of their complexity and also because of their typology, to establish new relationships, to reconvert some proposals, to receive reports from other sectors included under the regulation and logically, we need a little more time for them,” he said.
“We are not going to suspend the strike”
Previously, a high-level executive committee held a workshop with the leaders of the freight carriers to find a solution to their requirements. However, as a result of today’s dialogue, both sides did not come to an agreement.
Javier Marchese, president of the National Union of Heavy Transporters (UNT), gave the government a deadline this Sunday to issue a decree with its demands, otherwise there will be an indefinite strike scheduled for June 27.
“We have indicated to the minister that if he does not bring us an emergency decree or a decree-law or an emergency, we are not going to suspend the strike or something like that,” he said.
