Juan Grabois criticized the government for the dispute with retail employees: "They freeze wages and free up prices."
Social leader Juan Grabois once again harshly criticized Javier Milei's administration for the conflict with the Commercial Employees Union (SEC) over the approval of recently signed collective bargaining agreements. On May 9, the Ministry of Labor rejected the agreement reached by the employers with the SEC because it exceeded the 1% threshold established by the Ministry of Economy. Therefore, the parties were called to a new round of negotiations to discuss another offer.
Through his social media accounts, Grabois recounted a visit he made to the Macro supermarket in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area and highlighted the discontent among workers due to the wage dispute. " While these Mauritians who have never set foot in a grocery store are blatantly lying, in this Argentina you have to juggle to make ends meet," emphasized the leader of the Frente Patria Grande (Fatherland Front).
This is at the Macro on Panamericana. We went to the wholesaler, obviously on the day of the discount, because even though these Martians who've never set foot in a grocery store lie shamelessly, in this Argentina, you have to juggle to make ends meet.

"We're meeting with workers who are demanding wages they haven't been paid because the government, which said it would never intervene in private-sector agreements, doesn't recognize collective bargaining," Grabois said. The social leader also criticized companies and called them " swindlers " for "joining the strategy to avoid paying workers ."
"First they take it out on the workers, then on the consumers, where, yes, the government doesn't intervene to control prices. It's a crooked policy: they freeze wages and free up prices ," he stated. Grabois attached a short video where supermarket workers explained the situation from their perspective: " The company doesn't want to pay us what was agreed upon in the collective bargaining agreement."
" During the meetings, a percentage was agreed upon, which the company now refuses to pay because the government refuses to approve it . The company is using the lack of approval as an excuse to avoid paying the increases. Today, we are working, expressing our discontent because the 1.9% increase plus the lump sum we had signed for has not been recognized," they explained.
