 Buenos Aires. After long journeys of strong pressure and constant struggle, workers affiliated to the Federation of Associations of Argentine Health Workers (FATSA), achieved the partial renewal of Collective Agreements 112/75 and 108/75. The first one grants, among other benefits, general wages rise for all the technical staff and complementary services; maintenance staff, kitchen staff, administrative staff and auxiliary nurses of geriatric care centres. The second (108/75), grants general wages rise to all the technical and administrative staff and workers of Medical or Dental ambulatory institutions; biologic laboratories and laboratories of clinical analysis, x ray or similar, medical centres of primary health care, and institutes of health preservation (body care, bathing care, etc…) and in general all the workers who develop their duties in any ambulatory organisation whose aim is the recovery, maintenance and/or preservation of health. All these benefits apply throughout the Argentine Republic’s territory and as regards wages increase, it will be granted in stages, starting in August 1st 2010, another will be given in December 2010 and the process will be concluded in February 2011.



FATSA’s team of negotiators was integrated by our colleagues Carlos West Ocampo, Hector Daer, Susana Stochero, Nestor Genta, Ricardo Romero, Irma Raczkowski, Nilda Iglesias, Monica Chungo and Pedro Borgini. This team as well as FATSA affiliates had to go through intense negotiating journeys and suffered direct pressure in their work sites to achieve the recognition for their fair aspirations. UNI Americas is aware of the importance of agreements and wants to share this great advancement with FATSA and all the affiliates of UNI Americas, which constitutes a fair victory for the Health workers of the Argentine Republic.
