SanCor Workers Push for Bankruptcy Amid Salary Disputes

SanCor CUL, an iconic Argentine dairy cooperative, is embroiled in escalating legal battles as workers file bankruptcy requests due to unpaid salaries and lack of contributions. Several employees have already submitted bankruptcy filings with continued labor prospects amid the company's ongoing creditor process.

According to legal representatives, an additional 300 to 400 similar filings could follow. The grievances are rooted in months of unpaid wages, missed social security contributions to OSPIL, and outstanding dues to ATILRA and AMPIL. The workers highlight a serious breach of labor and social rights, jeopardizing healthcare coverage for numerous families.

Moreover, a criminal complaint targets SanCor's directors for alleged improper retention and tax evasion. This case is progressing in the Federal Court of Rafaela, with the former AFIP as the plaintiff.

The ATILRA union maintains that even if there's a judicial change in the bankruptcy proceedings, the process must continue uninterrupted, warning that post-filing payment failures could prompt swift payment demands in labor courts.
