Chamber of Deputies approved extending unemployment insurance for Casablanca slaughterhouse workers
The measure covers more than 400 employees at the Paysandú plant. According to Deputy Fermín Farinha, the extension runs until October 31.
The Chamber of Deputies approved an extension of unemployment insurance for more than 400 workers at the Casablanca slaughterhouse in Paysandú.
According to Subrayado, Partido Nacional Deputy Fermín Farinha said the vote makes it possible to extend the benefit for families affected by the plant’s situation.
Farinha said the workers have not received income since June and recalled that Deputies had asked the Executive Branch to send this extension quickly, in the face of a situation he described as unsustainable.
According to Subrayado, the extension will run until October 31. Farinha also said that the arrival of some investor is expected to reactivate the slaughterhouse and that, if that does not happen, the next step could be a bulk sale, based on exchanges with the government and the Executive Branch.
