Argentina subsidiary of U.S. food maker Kraft said the "intransigence" of workers who are in conflict since last July has "impeded progress" in resolving of the dispute.
In a paid advertisement published by local press, the company said it is demonstrating "their commitment to dialogue and flexibility" to resolve the conflict and said it will continue to perform all its activities "total respect" the laws of Argentina.
workers the company announced Saturday a new plan to fight for next week considering that they are 'locked' the negotiations.
The new action plan includes cuts in the road along the ground that the company is on the outskirts of Buenos Aires and demonstrations to the Plaza de Mayo, the Ministry of Labor and the courts.
While workers of the plant that the firm has in the locality of Pacheco reported having been denied entry since the dismissal of nearly two months ago about 160 employees, Kraft said otherwise and urged them to return to their duties.
workers this week rejected a proposal for Kraft to reinstate 20 employees who were dismissed, an initiative that adds to other the company made a week ago and which he pledged to reinstate the dismissed 30 others.
Kraft personnel was supported by Hugo Moyano, leader of the General Labour Confederation (CGT), the country's largest labor union, which pledged to implement "litigation" and to contact the U.S. Embassy together to help solve the dispute.
Conflict in Argentina's Kraft Foods, which employs about 2,700 workers, began last July due to higher wage claims and hygiene measures for pandemic influenza A.
Pacheco plant was occupied by the workers in mid-August, when the firm laid off 160 employees, 86 of which demand their reinstatement.
After a violent eviction in a few days ago, the factory resumed activity last week amid many protests and blockades in the Pan American highway near the plant, and on the streets of Buenos Aires.
Following the riots, the company suspended 36 other workers.
