Calcar, one of Uruguay's major dairy cooperatives, is experiencing a financial crisis causing wage delays and uncertainty about its future operations.

Calcar, a leading dairy cooperative in Uruguay, has found itself entangled in one of the most severe financial crises in the nation's working sector. The cooperative has been unable to pay its employees for months, leading to growing concerns among the workforce and government officials.
This crisis was brought to light during a Senate meeting, where the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MTSS) presented the dire situation faced by Calcar. Minister Juan Castillo highlighted the severity by stating: "Workers remain unpaid, and their future, along with the company's, industry, and the community of Tarariras, hangs in the balance." The minister emphasized that the crisis not only threatens Calcar's survival but also poses risks to the socio-economic fabric of Tarariras, a town heavily reliant on the cooperative’s operations.
While the MTSS seeks to open channels of dialogue for possible solutions, no concrete measures have yet been established to resolve Calcar’s financial woes or to ensure payment security for its staff. The MTSS reiterated its dedication to seeking consensual solutions and stressed the importance of deepening exchanges between involved stakeholders. Despite these efforts, Calcar's situation remains one of the most critical within the national labor landscape.
