Days after the change of Government with the inauguration of Javier Milei, a group of companies belonging to Nicolás Caputo, the “soul brother” of Mauricio Macri and cousin of the future Minister of Economy, Luis “Toto” Caputo, dismissed hundreds of workers and advanced vacations at several plants in Tierra del Fuego, where the large industrial park that employs a good part of the private sector in the province operates.
As reported by the workers of the regional Metallurgical Workers’ Union (UOM), the Mirgor group will dismiss, as of December 1, all those hired from three manufacturing plants in Río Grande and the workers under the Discontinuous Permanent Benefit (PPD) modality. Regarding the actual staff, the company assured that they will be suspended for 10 days during the month of December, to then begin the period of early annual vacations, from which they do not know if, when they return, they will continue with work.
The decision of the Caputo group and company will directly affect the workers of the IATEC company, the Brightstar staff, and the workers at the Einstein Street plant linked to the electronic branch.
Given this panorama, the former Secretary of Energy of Tierra del Fuego, Moisés Solorza, pointed out: “The Mirgor company belongs to Mauricio Macri’s bosom friend. They were partners when he settled in Tierra del Fuego and then began to have an important concentration. Mirgor is a large concentration of companies that have been staying and monopolizing the electronics industry in the province.”
On the other hand, it was learned that Nissan Renault opened the registry for voluntary retirements of workers at its Córdoba plant. They expect 450 workers to register, both contracted and effective. In the second automaker to do so. The first was a local subsidiary of the German company Mercedes-Benz, located in La Matanza.
