👉 Una denuncia sindical llevó a descubrir una situación alarmante en una cadena de lomiterías. Tras investigar ruidos sospechosos detrás de una heladera, se encontraron 27 trabajadores en condiciones paupérrimas, sin registro laboral ni derechos sociales, trabajando jornadas extenuantes. Las condiciones de higiene y salubridad también eran lamentables, poniendo en duda la calidad del producto final.

00:00There is a chain of places that sell lomito sandwiches, at least this is what I understood.
00:10That's it.
00:11But then this chain has a place where a good part of what is going to be sold later in the stores is prepared.
00:19Someone said that there were problems with the workers there.
00:24So he made a complaint to the union.
00:26The union goes, introduces itself, and hears noises through a wall.
00:32And they see a fridge, a large fridge, let's see if we can see it on the screen,
00:37and they invite to run to the fridge.
00:39And when they run to the fridge, what do they find, Bobby?
00:42They find hell itself, slavery, one of the modern forms of slavery,
00:47because the workers were in terrible conditions,
00:51workers in quotation marks, because they were closer to being slaves than workers,
00:55none registered, none with social security, none with social security, none with white salaries.
00:59Twenty-one.
01:00And there, locked up, locked up, more than twenty men and women,
01:04who were the ones who made those lomitos.
01:08How nice, what confidence TV gives, right?
01:11That slaves, enslaved types, prepare food.
01:14Shifts of more than twelve hours, and where, so that they didn't even have the opportunity,
01:18of going out, of going to the bathroom, nothing,
01:20they were put in that fridge to block the place of entry and exit.
01:24The complaint was made by the gastronomic union itself,
01:27that is, it must be said, and thanks to that,
01:29it reaches two places of elaboration, little distance between one and the other.
01:33Those who receive the staff that goes to the judicial staff and that of the union,
01:37they show themselves very reluctant, they show themselves very hostile,
01:40and one was very sharp with his sight in detecting that fridge,
01:46in hearing that noises came from behind that fridge,
01:49and then it is there where, when they manage to run it, the horror is very heavy.
01:55Juan Ruselot is the general secretary of the gastronomic workers' union of the province of Córdoba.
02:00Can you tell us more about what happened?
02:04Good morning, Rolando, yes.
02:05The truth is that they have described very well what this aberrant situation was,
02:09that we lived during an inspection operation,
02:11carried out in conjunction with the Ministry of Labor of the province of Córdoba,
02:14where we had a complaint from workers who were fulfilling their functions
02:20in these infrahuman conditions.
02:22Faced with this situation, we went with the inspectors to this production center
02:27and distribution center of this important chain of lomitos in Córdoba.
02:32In principle, who presented himself as one of the headlines, put receptions ...
02:35Wait, wait, we don't know her here, what's her name?
02:38Lomitos 2x1.
02:40Lomitos 2x1, does it have many premises there in Córdoba?
02:42Exactly, it is a very important chain in Córdoba.
02:47We always see this in the news as if they were clandestine textiles workshops
02:51or in the rural environment.
02:53No, in the center of Córdoba, five minutes from the center,
02:56there were these working conditions that are seen in the images,
03:00which are eloquent and which are this attitude that these businessmen had
03:05of hiding the workers as if they were chickens.
03:08Of course, they could offer 2x1, they were called 2x1,
03:11but on the basis of slave labor, just like that.
03:14Two days for one.
03:15Totally.
03:16Well, the truth is that the images are appalling,
03:18that's why we denounced it in court.
03:20In fact, if the police officer didn't come, they didn't want to run that ice cream shop.
03:24Only when the police came, we called 911.
03:27Based on the alleged attitude that our inspector had of trying to run that ice cream shop,
03:34we also had information from inside that they had people locked up.
03:38Well, from there, when the police came, we contacted what we suspected and knew,
03:43and it was that there were more than 20 more workers working in those conditions,
03:47with 12 to 13-hour shifts, all in black.
03:50And what happened?
03:51And the truth is that the conditions of hygiene and health were terrible.
03:53That's what I was going to say.
03:54Because if you have people working like slaves,
03:57I don't think that health is like going to eat a hamburger, right?
04:01Let's say.
04:02Who is poorer in salary is poorer in cleaning.
04:06The truth is that the images are deplorable,
04:08and the truth is that we always want to safeguard the source of work,
04:12that is our priority, but of course it is unacceptable in these conditions.
04:15If these entrepreneurs intend to earn money at the expense of the workers,
04:19from our union, we are not going to accept it.
04:22And what happened with the place? I suppose they closed it.
04:26Yesterday they closed this establishment, which is the production center.
04:30This is a very important chain that has franchises
04:32and dozens of commercial establishments in the city of Córdoba and in the interior.
04:37And of course we are going to go deep with this situation.
04:40And what's going to happen with the branches?
04:42Because now they're going to have to change their name,
04:44because then they must have already known, right?
04:46That if we are going to eat a hamburger in a place,
04:49the companies take care of their brands.
04:51Once it transcends that this place, 2x1,
04:55had enslaved workers,
04:59I don't think it will do the brand any good.
05:03These entrepreneurs, who are really the reflection of what should never happen,
05:08should have thought about this before.
05:10It seems that we are in the 19th century,
05:12more than 200 years have passed since the time of slavery,
05:15and it seems that they intend to continue having,
05:17and I repeat, this is not in a textile area, as it happened in Nordelta,
05:21this is in the heart of Córdoba, in a gastronomic establishment,
05:25with an activity as important as ours, tourism, TV and gastronomy,
05:29that this type of situation is happening,
05:31with 12-hour shifts,
05:33without giving food to these workers,
05:35and hiding them as if they were animals.
05:37Because this situation, whatever it is,
05:39is in the images that are eloquent,
05:41it is in the criminal complaint,
05:42and well, we will see what they have to say,
05:44the entrepreneurs, in the hearing that we will have in the Ministry of Labor,
05:47and also how justice acts based on this complaint that we formulate.
05:52Juan Carlos, we thank you for your contact.
05:55Thank you very much.
