• Transport strike The Government turns on truck drivers: "You are playing Putin's game"

  • Transport strike The Government offers 500 million euros to discount diesel but carriers keep their pulse and stoppages

The

Platform for the Defense of the Road Freight Transport Sector

, the organization that called the strike, continues with the mobilization and assures that it will not give in until they are heard and solutions are signed.

Its president, Manuel Hernández, says that the government is wasting time by meeting "with the wrong people" and accuses the Minister of Transport of aggravating the situation by despising his organization.

“Mrs. Minister, she keeps talking to the wrong people.

As long as you don't sit down, don't negotiate and don't agree and sign with Platform, this is not going to stop.

You can have it for sure.

We are strong, firm and aware.

We are not in a hurry because unemployed we spend much less than if we worked, ”explained its president, Manuel Hernández, yesterday.

"The CNTC does not represent us"

The man from Albacete insists that

the CNTC does not represent the base truckers

and accuses the large operators of being to blame for the "bankruptcy" of the self-employed and small businesses, which are 85% of the sector according to different sources, although the employer wields that it represents 80% of the sector.

“This is not solved by talking to the CNTC.

They are the bosses that sell loads without having trucks and resell them to us

.

They are a fundamental part of the problem we have, since abuse and misery are imposed on us by these large companies that have taken over the burdens and take refuge in that CNTC, "says Hernández.

The Platform defines itself as the only valid interlocutor for small businesses and asks carriers to choose their own representatives.

«Nobody can impose on us that we represent who we do not want to represent us.

Hold an election so that carriers can vote and elect their representatives.

Do not credit the majority to some gentlemen that it is impossible for them to have it because they do not have transport companies, they have operators », he affirms.

"Platform will negotiate"

«They are saying that maybe the Committee will join the strike.

Well, whoever comes to join the strike must be very clear that they will have to get on the caboose

.

Nobody here is going to lead the fight that others are doing, because Platform represents the trucker, Platform will speak on his behalf and Platform will sign his agreements.

We have it in hand," said Hernández, who asked that truckers not be put to the test and warned of serious consequences if the government continues to ignore them.

“They are still on the wrong path.

This will last over time as long as you are not responsible and do not call the organization that represents the real trucker,

the one who has to come and go so that the merchandise reaches its destination.

And as long as that doesn't happen, this strike will not be lifted.

If they try to exhaust the patience of the truckers, that's up to you with the consequences », he warns.
