"On Tuesday, Mariano had been touring the ways to add more people to the protest (yesterday). He was one who painted the banner of 'outsourced workers in struggle,' "Darius told Roseto, student and colleague of murdered boy. The union conflict came last July, demanding the reinstatement of 117 contract workers who were dismissed Rock Railroad. The company is managed by the UGOFE (Rail Operations Management Unit), made by the State and operating companies (such as Railroads, and the group Roggio TBA). With a series of measures of force, outsourcing had achieved twelve reinstatement dismissed. One of the protests was to cut the station tracks in Avellaneda, on 21 July, when the blockade continued for eleven hours. Railway Union, faced with the leftist groups, began a campaign of leaflets and banners with the words "railway workers do not cut the tracks." Stuck inside the train and the station near Avellaneda, where the confrontation began Tuesday.
"We meet at the local PO at 10.30 Avellaneda," recalled another witness, Jose Tejeda, a delegate Union of Construction Industry and Allied. The outsourced had coordinated the move, in addition to the PO, with convergence of the Left, the Movement Teresa Rodriguez and Quebracho. Of local Avellaneda marched to the station with the idea of \u200b\u200bcutting the tracks, but were met with a police operation and found that near the tracks and was the group of the Union Railway. They started walking, then, to the station Hipólito Yrigoyen, to the side of Constitution. "Crossing the bridge Bosch (crossing the Creek and joins Avellaneda Barracks) the Railway Union we started throwing stones from above, police also shot rubber bullets at us," Tejeda told, and then made a string between the two groups that temporarily put a brake on conflict. Seeing that they could not cut the tracks, the outsourced withdrew two blocks from the station and there Yrigoyen put together a meeting to discuss what to do. A police cordon separating the two groups, but at some point that string open. Those who made the meeting were that the Union Railway runs up.
"We told the women to run and we put up a cordon," said Diego cardia, one of the outsourced dismissed. The two groups clashed in the streets shock. "It was a clash with stone and clubs, because we defended ourselves, they stick, but with stones and sticks, we had no firearms, "said Tejeda. The fight lasted over 10 minutes. Some witnesses spoke even twenty, but nobody had a good idea of \u200b\u200bits duration. "They had to retreat, began to go backwards, and then while they were leaving, I saw one pulled a gun and started shooting," Roseto said. The witness saw a single shooter with a handgun. Others saw two armed men, and others three. Lisandro Martinez, head of the Southern Zone PO, saw two shooters, "one with a shotgun." Jose Tejeda saw "three men armed with handguns." Tejeda had
next to Mariano Ferreyra. When he saw him fall, was "believed he had a seizure because she did not see the bullet wound in the chest. In the confusion of the fight, but heard the shots, did not think they were pulling the body. "I took as a shot into the air." But in trying to help him noticed that the boy "shaking and had urinated" and realized he was serious. We went live to the ambulance to take the Argerich hospital.

What Pedraza said
The owner of the Railway Union, José Pedraza, acknowledged that members of his guild were they faced with outsourcing and the militant left. He also admitted that they did to prevent cut the tracks, but defended what was done with an argument of anthology: "The workers defended their sources work "(see page 6). Of course, denied that the perpetrators of the shooting belonged to his union.
Since the national government, which came to condemn the killing and violence association, there was a promise to clarify who were "the masterminds and perpetrators of fact." Although the actions of the Federal Police, specifically, which did not intervene to prevent violence, and has not stopped the aggressors, generated more than a doubt among the officials made no public statements discomfort with the role of the police.
Today will be a march to the Plaza de Mayo called by the left and a national strike agreed to call the two sectors within the CTA.
die for participating in a trade union demonstration, and in the context of a fight between unions, was something unimaginable, something not thought of as possible, rather something from another era. However, in recent years an increasing number of episodes of violence have been going union: street gangs Tram Drivers' Union against the organization of workers in the subway, UOCRA groups against the unemployed who set up cooperative building the threats of the UTA to prevent aligned with the CTA drivers staged a protest in Retiro were few. In many of these cases had denounced the show of arms. Nobody could have taken it too seriously, until yesterday.
