The cooperative Conaprole and its union are set to resume negotiations this Friday, presenting their proposals in a new government-mediated round of talks aimed at resolving ongoing labor conflicts.
The renewed dialogue stems fr om a tripartite meeting held at the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, wh ere both parties have agreed to submit formal proposals for governmental review. As negotiations progress, there is significant anticipation regarding the future of the Rivera plant, as decisions about its continuation remain unfinalized. Luis Goichea, a union leader, notes the start of a 15-day period of intense negotiations, indicating a focus on dialogue to explore alternatives that could preserve production in northern Uruguay. Meanwhile, Conaprole's president, Gabriel Fernández, highlights that Rivera employees are currently on leave, reducing the urgency of an immediate resolution, although some workers have opted for relocation or retirement. These discussions are crucial for determining the plant's future and balancing the cooperative's production needs with workers' demands. Enforcement of dialogue and negotiation in the following days will be pivotal in deciding the Rivera plant's fate and ensuring cooperative growth alongside workers' welfare. The outcome will be a critical determinant in shaping the future strategies of the company and the workforce.
