Inbal responds to the protest made at the delivery of Fine Arts Medals

The National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature (Inbal) issued a statement this Wednesday night in response to the protest carried out this afternoon by unionized workers of that instance during the ceremony for the awarding of the 2023 and 2024 Fine Arts Medals in the fields of Architecture and Heritage.

He reported that the General Directorate of Administration of that agency, “in compliance with an award issued by the First Chamber of the Federal Court of Conciliation and Arbitration, on the occasion of labor trial 4370/15, reinstated and assigned the worker in question to the National Coordination of Visual Arts from August 14, 2023.”

And he assured that the National Union of Cultural Workers of Inbal-Administrative, Technical and Manual Workers of Inbal “is opposed to said person working in that coordination, due to a hierarchy expectation of two workers affiliated with that union organization.”

In the aforementioned event, held in the Manuel M. Ponce Room of the Palace of Fine Arts, a group of about 15 people displayed posters with messages asking for dialogue and not repression against cultural workers.

Faced with this fact, Inbal, through the General Subdirectorate of Administration and its labor bodies, reiterated in the document its “commitment to fully comply with the mandates and procedures ordered by the jurisdictional authority in labor matters, for which it will continue to privilege the dialogue respecting the regulations, as well as the rights of the workers.”
